    Formula to create similar function to a pivot table

    Hello,

    I'd appreciate help with a file that I am working on. Not sure how to describe it but I have provided an example in the attached file.

    I have data in the format presented in columns B and C. I need to create the result in columns F-J. Column F is provided and all the values are unique. Row 4 is provided as well and all the values are unique too.

    I need to count how many times there is an overlap.

    In G5 copied across and down:

    =SUMPRODUCT(($B$4:$B$9=$F5)*(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(G$4,$C$4:$C$9))))

    There is a typo in cell C8 - I've corrected it in the attached.

    Hi zz_zz11

    Your Cell C8 has the following content: 2002 char six, so it is normal to get 1 in Cell H6 calculation, but it is actually 2002 chair six, or it may be a typo, or you will really get 2
