Help Categorizing Data

Copper Contributor

Hello! I'm sure that I have the verbiage wrong but I need help figuring out how to categorize some data. 

 

I've attached some samples below. I fill out a weekly report that tracks how often products are featured in advertisements.  The products are supplied by two different brands. Brand A and B. Is there a way for when I track the ad appearances that they can auto categorize themselves into each company category. In line 5 and 6 I track the total items in ad by distributor. 

 

I know there is a way to do this, but I can't remember!

 

Thank you!

Depends on which calculation you'd like to do. For example, count number of Brand A products in weekly report is like

=SUM(COUNTIF(BrandA list,weekly list))

@Sergei Baklan  Thank you for the help! 

 

When I try this I keep getting a zero for the total. Any suggestions?

 

Thank you!
