Default Really Complicated Lookup

I have a table set up as follows:

Date Name Place
10/2/07 Name1 Place1
10/2/07 Name1 Place1
10/3/07 Name1 Place2
10/3/07 Name1 Place3
10/3/07 Name1 Place3
10/4/07 Name2 Place1
10/4/07 Name2 Place2

I need to determine how many unique Places are listed for each Name and
Date, and place that number in a new table in which each row corresponds to a
Name, and each column B:HH corresponds to a date, and at the intersection is
the number of unique Places listed on that date for that person.

Functions are not an option, there's just too many calculations and the
thing takes hours to perform them. The list above is just an example of the
full list, which we fully expect to reach 65536 rows at some point. There
are also more than 60 different people, and 365 days in a year--it's a lot of
functions.

Thanks in advance for any ideas (even just approaches I could try) as to how
to get this done.
