    Pivot table to count values?

    Hi everyone.
    Excuse me if that is a daft question but I am not an Excel expert.
    I am researching my family history and want to be able to find out how many of my relatives lived in a particular town. The genealogy software I use can export a list of place names as a CSV file and I thought I could use some form of pivot table but I only have one value i.e the place name.
    Is there a function I could use?
    There are about 6000 values

    welcome to the forum. is there a sample file you can upload if you don't want to share that. after you create the PivotTable, on the right side is the Field List. drag the place name field to the ROWS area. drag the place name field again to the VALUES area. it will automatically do a COUNT for you
