Remove Duplicates and Sum in a spreadsheet
Hi all,

I have a problem hoping someone can help me.
I have this spreadsheet :

Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment Removed embedded code


These are all separate columns and rows. The first 5 (PC.333,PC.444...) are patients and under them every number represents the number of Bacteria that the patient presents referred to the row.

I need to merge hetero the fields regarding Bacteria but without loosing the count of them for every patients. In other words I need to delete duplicate but sum before for the patients the numbers. So do not miss anything. Is there any possibilities ?! The file is very big and I would like to avoid doing it manually.

Please help Me ! Thank you in advance
