    Organising Data from list into table

    Hi
    I am trying to organise a long list of reference numbers into a table that shows the reference number and then the quantity of that number. I have attached a simplified version of this. I would like to do this using a formula so that when i add another ref number to the bottom of the list it then updates the table so that it shows the new quantity. See below picture for a simplified version of what i would like to do using a formula.

    Some will say to just change the quantity but i am using a bar code scanner and it just adds the ref number to the bottom of the list so that is why i cant just change the quantity. I am not bothered about the numbers being in order on the table.

    Thanks for any help

    ...confirmed by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to activate the array, not just ENTER. You will know the array is active when you see curly braces { } appear around your formula. If you do not CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER you will get an error or a clearly incorrect answer.
