Col A Col B Col E Col F
ACA1196 A320 A320 5
ACA1196 A320
ACA1196 A320
ACA1196 A320

I have two columns of data- I would like to count the number of
entries in col B based on col A, put the cell value for col b and its
count result in col E and F, respectively. For example, based on the
cell values of "ACA1196" in col A, the values "A320" and "A333" would
be put in col E and "5" and "1" in col F. SImilarly, for "ACA844",
"A333" and "A343" would placed in col E and "1" and "1" in col F. This
could be done till the end of the data which is approximately 2500
entries and there is a header for the data.

Thanks for your help,

Ty
