How to create a table with max and sum values

HelloItsMe76

I have a table like the below

 

Category   | Time |  Count of string

A | t-5mins | 18

A | t-10mins | 7

A | t-15mins | 10

A | t-20 mins | 1

B | t-5mins | 6

B | t-10 mins | 18

 

I would like to create a table with the latest (max) time and the sum of the count by category so that i get this

 

Category   | Max Time |  Sum

A | t-5mins |  36

B | T-5mins | 24

 

I can get the max time and the sum individually into a table but am having issues getting them both into 1 table -  the time and sum values are coming up blank. 

Can someone advise please?
