Hi Pros, 

I need to calculate the amounts based on the value in Excel File 1 and after computing I want to populate the values based on the header (sector) in the Excel file 2 - which will be given to the consumer 

Example.
1) Need to sum the Car and Bike in the category field (in file 1)
2) The total value should be populated in the Automobile column (in file 2)

Sheet 1
