    Finding Most Frequently Occurring Combinations

    I have two columns (ID and Part Number) and am looking to identify all possible "Part" combinations that we ship out.

    ID = Individual Sales Orders
    Part Number = Individual Part Numbers within each Sales Order

    Would like to see:
    Part 1234 and 5678 = Count of 80
    Part 5678 and 3333 = Count of 90
    Part 1234 = Count of 110


    Shipping Parts 2014-2015.xlsx

    Any help on how I can put a formula together to calculate this would be great.

    There are 328 distinct part numbers, which means there north of 50,000 2-element combinations. I don't think it would be practical to use formulas.

    The alternative is a macro (VBA). Some kind soul may be willing.
