    Check out the attached sheet.

    I'd be happy to demonstrate this with a more complete copy, if you are able without violating confidentiality, to post a copy of your actual worksheet. In the absence of that, the following steps were all that I needed to take.

    • I used one formula that converted your Quantity to just the values. 

    =VALUE(LEFT([@[QUANTITY SOLD]],FIND(" ",[@[QUANTITY SOLD]])))

    • Then I  let Excel do the crunch work by means of the Pivot Table, which is one of the most popular (and powerful) tools built into Excel for summarizing the kind of data you have.

     

    If you can post a more extensive example of your raw data, do so either here or on OneDrive or GoogleDrive, pasting a link here in the latter two instances that grants access.
