For example,
Category | CategoryGroup |Price
AAA|Apple |80
AAA|Apple |90
BBB|Banana|40
BBB|Butterfruit|90

I want to display my data as
Category|CategoryGroup|Total
AAA|Apple|170
BBB|Banana|40
|Butterfuit|90

Please advice.

Yes, you can simply add the stats list() after the sum:

your search| stats sum(Price) AS Total BY Category,CategoryGroup | stats list(CategoryGroup) AS CategoryGroup list(Total) AS Total BY Category

Thank you, but this yields me duplicate value in Category. I want to include list command as well to eliminate show as multiple record under each category.
