counting rows with same values for multiple values
I have a list of 150 assets which are assigned to 20 or so depts. How can I
count the number of assets per dept. In essence counting the number of times different values reoccur? For example Asset1 - dept1 asset2 - dept 1 asset3-dept2 asset4-dept2 asset5-dept3 dept1 has 2 assets dept2 has 2 assets dept3 has 1 asset Id like to avoid doing a COUNTIF and having to type each dept name |

Separate columns?
If so =COUNTIF(B:B,"dept1") -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Jon Viehe" wrote in message ... I have a list of 150 assets which are assigned to 20 or so depts.

Could you walk me through it? I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out
on my own along with F1, but got lost. Looked at pivot tables too, but again, confused. "Paul Sheppard" wrote in message news:Paul.Sheppard.1udpqz_1125072379.5499@excelfor um-nospam.com...

Wait, I think that did it. I just dragged the column into the column and
data area of the pivot table and I think it gave me what i wanted. Thanks. "Jon Viehe" wrote in message ... Could you walk me through it?
