List Unique Occurences and Count
Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated ... even if the answer is
that it can't be done :) Scenario: 1) the names of 15 executives are listed in Column E 2) the names of associates are in Column F The associates form a labor pool from which the executives can assign projects. Each row of the tab named 'Summary Report' contains an executive name (column E) and associate name (column F) and project information. There are multiple occurrences of both executive and associate rows and no necessary correlations between the two. So, on a separate tab my boss would like to see a list of executive names with a count of the associates they are using, then a list of those associates. Eckard 3 Martin, Smith, Williams Franks 6 Robertson, Hoi, Jones, Smith, Martin, Wenston Liu 5 Williams, Hoi, Young, Hansen, Robertson In my manual process, I move down the column of executive names, and find the first occurrence of the associates name. My second step is to count the number of associate's names found for each executive. As this is likely to be a weekly report, I am keen to automate the process. Thank you, PGiessler |

Does your description mean that for Executive Eckard in Column E, for
example, Associate Maritn, for example, might appear more than once in Column F?

Alan,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, both appear multiple times in their respective columns as follows: Column E Column F Eckard Martin Eckard Smith Franks Robertson Eckard Williams Franks Hoi Liu Williams Franks Jones Franks Smith Liu Hoi Liu Young Franks Martin Liu Hansen Franks Wenston Liu Robertson Hopefully this helps clarify the issue I am trying to tackle.

So, if I understand you correctly, Eckard and Martin could have another
association relating to another project. If so, try the following which involves the use of two helper columns that can be hidden... G1, copied down: =E1&F1 H1, copied down: =IF(COUNTIF($G$1:G1,G1)=1,1,0) Then, enter a unique list of executives in Column I. J1, copied down: =SUMIF($E$1:$E$14,$I1,$H$1:$H$14) K1, copied across and down: =IF(COLUMNS($K1:K1)<=$J1,INDEX($F$1:$F$14,SMALL(IF (($E$1:$E$14=$I1)*($H$1 :$H$14=1),ROW($F$1:$F$14)-ROW($F$1)+1),COLUMNS($K1:K1))),"") ....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. Hope this helps! In article , PGiessler wrote: Alan, Thanks for the reply.

That may be what he meant, but it's not what his illustration shows; the illustration suggests that he misunderstood my question. Alan Beban Alan, Thanks for the reply.

Domenic & Alan;
Thank you for your responses. I was off-network yesterday so I will be trying the formula today. From the looks of it, it appears to be what I need. I will post later to verify. Thanks again guys!
