Default How to count responses? Possibly use COUNTIF?

This looks like a perfect time to learn about pivottables.

Add headers to your data if you don't have them, then you can select the range
(A1:B100??), data|pivottable

Follow the wizard until you get to the step with a Layout button on it.
Click that button.

Then drag the header for the name to the row field.
Then drag the header for the response to the Column field
Drag the header for the response to the data field.

Then finish up the wizard.

If you've never used pivottables, here are a few links:

Debra Dalgleish's pictures at Jon Peltier's site:

And Debra's own site:

John Walkenbach also has some at:

(look for Tony Gwynn's Hit Database)

Chip Pearson keeps Harald Staff's notes at:

MS has some at (xl2000 and xl2002):

We have a survey that asks people how satisfied they were with our services.
It also asks which staff member assisted them. I would like to count up the
number of each level of satisfaction per person and put it in a table.
Example below.

A B
Lisa Very Satisfied
Brent Very Satisfied
George Dissatisfied
Lisa Satisfied
Brent Very Satisfied
Casey Neutral

So if I was counting from the above I would see:

VS S N D
Brent 2
Casey 1
George 1
Lisa 1 1

Any help would be great!
