    Need to summarize data but not sure how...

    In a query result I am getting:

    A 2
    A 6
    B 1
    B 3
    B 8
    C 4
    C 7


    I need to end up with:

    A 8
    B 12
    C 11

    How do I do this? Probably very easy but I am new with Access. I'm not seeing it.

    Thanks.

    I would start with two or three columns in a Totals query. You can start by creating a new query object using the Query Builder, "Query Design". Click the Totals option from within the Ribbon at the top of your screen, sigma.

    Got it! Just had to change the Total cell in the QTY column to show "Sum". Thanks for your help.
