Hello, I would like to sum certain numerical data together, when some columns present the same text data. Please see below an example of how my data look.

For example, rows 3 and 7 (1st table) present the same text (columns A-D), so in these cases I would like to sum the respective data from columns ‘Data1’, ‘Data2’, and ‘Data3’.

 

Thank you in advance!

 Hi @arieta -

Have you tried a Summarize tool? You can group by several fields and then sum by your numeric columns. Let me know if that works!

Hi @arieta,

 

You'll want to use a summarise tool for this:

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know! I've attached my workflow for you to download if needed.

 

Regards,

Jonathan
