i trying add quantity of ingredient each occurance of ingredient. example, if have these:

eggs    4 bread   1 tomato  1 eggs    3 grapefruit 2 milk    1 eggs    2 banana  1 

in 2 columns in excel, formula can use count how many eggs have? have output this:

eggs    9 bread   1 tomato  1 ... 

obviously list extremely long otherwise i'd add myself. vlookup returns quantity of first occurence of "eggs" , rest ignored.
