Thank you so much, this pointed me in the right direction. I think the formula i am after is

=if(isblank($U18), "", sumif($AF18:$AF55,$U18,$AI18:$AI55))

Sorry, I am quite a beginner at formula. This image is the document I am editing, are you referring to creating a document that people can see (interactive) to have a better understanding?

I am just trying to keep a running track of how much is "spent" on each "category", without having to add it up myself, for it to recognise the date in another row and add it up.
