summarise large data set into management freindly summary
I have a large spreadsheet > 15000 rows that I need to summarise into a small table.
Essentially its a list of invoices grouped into departmental code, of which I need a subtotal amount.
so
column A - supplier
comumn B - code
column C - amount
I need to group the total amount of column C per column B (code). So if 300 invoices at various amounts are against column B I need a total of how much those rows total to per code. Hope that makes sense. I could also do with the subtotals being displayed somewhere that just lists each unique code and each subtotal. Maybe another sheet?

But as a general rule its similar to:
supplier code amount
pma ltd ABC 1.56
pma ltd ABC 1.77
pma ltd ABC 1.08
123 ltd ABC 2.12
123 ltd ABC 2.22
123 ltd ABC 2.56
123 ltd ABC 3.45
123 ltd ABC 1.22
123 ltd DEF 2.01
456 ltd DEF 2.45
456 ltd DEF 4.56
456 ltd DEF 7.43
456 ltd DEF 6.54
456 ltd DEF 7.22
456 ltd DEF 8.12
So I'd have a subtotal for ABC and a subtotal for DEF, ideally the totals together aside from the massive sheet of data, not a summary under each where I have to then hide rows etc
