Hi guys,
Need some help with this one.

My worksheet looks a little like this;

Col F Col X
Barcode Round Number
14 1234123412341234 12341
15 8687686876868686 86876
16 7543275432754327 75432 17
2482482482482482 24824
18 8687686777777777 86876

The worksheet is a year-to-date summary of all claims submitted to my
department from our clients (data starts at row 14). Various data is
submitted but I am focussing on the worst performing rounds. The round
number is formulated as the first 5 digits of the barcode. Every week,
we add to this sheet with the previous weeks claims. By the end of
they year we expect appx. 1400 rows of data.
I want to have (on the same sheet) a table that extracts the most
frequent round numbers that appear in Col X and also puts a count in
the opposing cell. I want this to automatically update each week. Say,
the 20 most frequent.

Is this possible? I appreciate your time.



Use a PivotTable. Put Round Number in the Row Fields and in Data
Items. Make sure it says "Count of Round Number" for Data Items.
Right-Click Round Number in the Row Fields header and select "Field
Settings". Click Advanced and select Descending under AutoSort options,
Count of Round Number under Using field, On under Top 10 AutoShow and
Top 20 next two Show:.

Remember that you need to refresh the PivotTable when new data is added.
