Adding rows in attribute table together using ArcGIS Pro

Question

I am using a parcel map and I have a layer with a ton of polygons and those polygons have different names. I combined all the names into categories in the symbology tab but when I go to the attribute table for that layer the ones I combined are no longer combined like in the symbology. I don't want to merge these polygons because I want to be able to count how many polygons are in the categories but I want the rows in the attribute table combined into the groups I put them in in the symbology.
I am using ArcGIS Pro

Firstly, we must remember that each row in the attribute table is associated with a feature on the map, and symbology is a layer property that is followed only until the layer is in the contents pane in ArcGIS Pro.

What you can try is using the "show count" property while applying symbology

Your aim is to get it as a table showing the count, use the summarize option to get a table representing the count of all the categorized features

Count

Finally, as an alternative, if you want a group symbology("not the attributes") follow the Group Unique Values link for a better understanding
