How do I make specific cells in excel Appear in other columns?

Ok, so I have data like this:

Serial / Total /

123456 / $10.00/

123456 / $10.00/

123456 / $10.00/

Total Amnt / $40.00/

444444 / $50.00

444444 / $50.00

444444 / $50.00

Total Amnt / $150.00

I have a list of these that goes on forever. I need to filter out the total amounts, without taking in consideration the other values. So I need to only consider the totals, not the small amouns. Any idea how to make a filter to either consider only the totals ot move the totals into a different columns so that I can use a filter to sort them out or not?

Thank you for your help!!!

    Assuming your 'Total Amnt' values are in column A, the following 'toggle' macro will alternately show/hide all rows where column A does not contain 'Total Amnt'.

    Copy the macro to the clipboard:

    Sub Custom_Filter2()

    Dim i, LastRow

    LastRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

    If ActiveSheet.Rows. SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible). Count >= 16777216 Then

    For i = 1 To LastRow

    If ucase(Cells(i, "A").Value) <> "TOTAL AMNT" Then

    Cells(i, "A").EntireRow.Hidden = True

    End If

    Next

    Else

    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Hidden = False

    End If

    End Sub

    Press ALT + F11

    INSERT > MODULE

    Paste the macro into the module editing area to the right.

    Close the VBE and return to Excel.

    Press ALT + F8

    When the Macros window opens, highlight this macro and click 'Options..'.

    Enter a DIFFERENT letter, than the one in your previous question, to be used as a keyboard shortcut and click 'OK'.

    Close the Macros window.

    To alternately show/hide all rows not containing 'Total Amnt' in column A, press CTRL + your keyboard shortcut letter repeatedly.

    Row 1 is for headers, cols A and B as shown.

    In C2 enter =IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)>1,"",A2)

    In D2 enter =IF(ISERROR (SMALL(C:C,ROW()-1)), "", SMALL(C:C,ROW()-1))

    In E2 enter =IF(D2="","",SUMIF(A:A,D2,B:B))

    Copy the 3 formula down to bottom of list. Format col E as currency.
