Summing data based on another column

[PWGabe]

I have 3 columns, SOWNumbers, BillableHours, and Non-Billable hours. What I'm looking to do is Sum the Billable hours for the group of SOWNumbers. I have a list of 200 SOWNumbers, 20 that are all the same, each one having a BillableHours number. I was to take the Billable hours of the 20 that are the same and sum them. How can I go about doing this? Thanks

Is this just for the purposes of a table or visual?

Just put the SOWNumbers in the Rows of a table and BillableHours in the Values.

It will automatically sum.

A better practice would be to explicitly define the "Sum of Billable Hours" value in a measure.

It would look like this:

Sum of Billable Hours = 
SUM(
     Table1[BillableHours]
)

The problem is I can't put anything into rows and doing the "Sum( tabl1[BillableHours]) thing will sum up ALL the billable hours, not just the ones for the SOWNumbers. 

This is part of the excel sheet I'm trying to replicate. there are 300+ more rows below this, groups of them having diffrent SOWNumbers.

@PWGabe,

Your requirement is still not very clear. Better to share us a more complete example.

Thank you for all the help, but I ended up not having to do this, after deciding it wasn't possible.
