Default Find certain "Text" in a specific coloum, add corres. values

Hi,
I have two coloums. One has text and the other has Values.
I need excel to search through a whole coloum, and summerize the results.
My coloums look like as follows

A 2
B 5
A 2

The results should look like

A 4
B 2

How can I achieve this?
Thanks

Try =SUMIF(C1:C3,"A",D13)

This is quite expandable using sumproduct for a criteria in B and matching
in C and then sum C.

Use Pivot Table. Drag and drop the Text Field in Row and the Value Field in
Data. Do double click and change the Value field in data to Sum if it is
shown as Count. Remove the subtotal if required.

Have a look in the below links for more details about Pivot Table.

Remember to Click Yes, if this post helps!
