Question

My dad owns a wholesale store and most invoices come via Excel. The issue is usually it takes a lot of time manually editing the files to sum the columns up (doing it manually).

Currently I'm doing it like this:

Create new row.
Sum(Range) then overwriting it with the value, deleting the originals.

Data:

Box Count    UPC       UPC Description        Item Qty   Cost      Ext Cost

    2   07244708019 EST BEACH SET 10 PIECE          1    $2.54   $2.54

Is there a way I can have it Sum Col A (Box Count), Col D (Individual Quantity), while only allowing there 1 row entry? (Also bringing down the individual cost Col E. I can easily do a formula to do extended cost.)

I guess what I'm saying:

2   07244708019 EST BEACH SET 10 PIECE          1    $2.54   $2.54

is there a formula or script I can have it automatically combine to say:

40  07244708019 EST BEACH SET 10 PIECE 31  $2.54
