Number's Formula: SUM based on Category

Hello,


I am creating a document in Numbers for a budget. Each expense has is related to one of six categories It looks a like this:


CategoryCompanyAmount
SuppliesACME, Inc.£10
InvitationsExample Company£4
SuppliesParty Depot, Inc.£24
TreatsThe Fake Cake Bakery£16


As I add expenses, a category is chosen via a drop-down menu. Once all the data is input, I am looking to create a summary table that looks like this:


CategoryTotal
SuppliesTOTAL OF SUPPLIES
InvitationsTOTAL OF INVITATIONS
TreatsTOTAL OF TREATS


I am having difficulty creating the summary table as the "TOTAL OF X" needs to be calculated as I add and adjust data.


Eventually I would like to create a charts based on the Total Table information.
