Your attachment didn't make it, so ...

By "running total", I assume you want a totals column, with a figure on each 
row, where that figure is the sum of all the sales by that person down to 
that point.

For instance


      3310  100  100
      3310  127  227
      3303  86  86
      3310  875  1102
      3310  887  1989
      3303  352  438
      3303  34  472
      3310  762  2751
      3310  634  3385
      3303  234  706
      3303  412  1118



Where the first column (A2:A12) has your person number.  The next column 
(C2:C12) has the individual sales amounts.  The last column (E2:E12) is the 
intermingled running totals for the two people.

This can be done with an anchored SumIF.  For instance, E10 is

  =SUMIF(A$2:A10,A10,C$2:C10)

The trick is having the anchor on the top (Row 2) items, but not on the 
bottom of the range (Row 10 in this case).  You can copy/paste this formula 
all down the E column to give you an interspersed running total column as 
tall as you want.

Note that it is not limited to just two people.  It can easily handle more. 
For instance, just changing a couple of Column A numbers:

      3310  100  100
      3310  127  227
      3303  86  86
      3300  875  875
      3310  887  1114
      3303  352  438
      3303  34  472
      3310  762  1876
      3300  634  1509
      3303  234  706
      3303  412  1118


gives you the extra person: 3300.
