Your desired output changes every time you add a new post to this thread.

I suggested code in post #11 that gets rid of the need to need for the for loop you showed us in post #12 and produces the results that loop would produce inside the print_total() function.

The code that I suggested there worked perfectly with the earlier sample data you provided to produce the output you said you wanted in an earlier post in this thread. If you modified that code to produce a different output format and introduced a syntax error in the code as you did it, I can't help you without seeing how you modified the code. Since your requirements are constantly changing and since you haven't provided us with any sample input that could possibly produce the most recent output you're showing us, I'm not motivated to try to rewrite my suggestion again hoping to guess at what your next output format requirements might be.
