Default How to use AUTOFILTER to update FREQUENCY distribution

I did but the it turns ou that the numbers are actually decimals so there are
too many and they need to be divided up into categories.
There are about 65000 rows in the real spreadsheet!

Have you tried a PivotTable?

May be better suited.

I have the following data and have created the FREQUENCY distribution below it.

Ideally, what I want is to be able to see the frequency distribution and use
AUTOFILTER on the dates to see the FREQUENCY distribution is for various
dates or combinations of dates.

However, the frequency distribution doesn't seem to get updated when the
autofilter is applied.

Ideas and comments welcome!


Code:
 date	category	
 01/01/2008	1	
 01/01/2008	1	
 01/01/2008	2	
 01/01/2008	4	
 02/02/2008	1	
 02/02/2008	2	
 02/02/2008	3	
 02/02/2008	3	
 03/03/2008	2	
 03/03/2008	4	
 
 Freq distribution:
 	cat	frequency
 	1	3
 	2	3
 	3	2
 	4	2
 		
 Ideal output when filtered on the a single date
 Filtered for date:	01/01/2008	
 	cat	frequnecy
 	1	2
 	2	1
 	3	0
 	4	1
