Default Quantities of random values

Hi all,

I am working on a quote template for doors and I would like to be able to count combinations of information so that the information is displayed on a separate sheet.

The information is based on door type, door height and door width.

Example of quote page...

SC 2340 920
SCE 2340 920
SC 2340 920
FD 2040 920
FD 2040 920

I would like the quantities sheet to recognise repeated combinations and count how many times they repeat as well as displaying the repeated combinations

Example of desired quantity page...

SC 2340 920 2
SCE 2340 920 1
FD 2040 920 2

Here are the problems that I face.
- If I try to use the height column as a criteria range in count or sum functions it calculates the total height value of all doors combined (ie. 2040 x 2 = 4080)
- Pivot tables have the same issue with creating a total height value rather than a total of the amount of times a combination repeats
- The information in the door type, door height and door width columns is completely random so setting a value in the formula isn't an option (I don't believe)
- I've yet to find a method for having a new sheet display, count and sort data into a customised setout

Any help with this would be much appreciated as I'm starting to feel that it's not possible.
