I need to do the excel equivalent of sql group by count without pivot tables
etc...

Scenario:

1) I have work sheet with list of clients
2) In another sheet I have all projects for all clients
One to many relationship between 1) and 2)

I need to report the summary of the project status for a client - 3 live, 2
in progress, 2 delayed.
In this case, there are 7 rows in sheet 2 and the status is a column in the
row with three possible values "live", "in progress" and "delayed"

TIA
