    Exclamation Possibly a Count function?

    I have a sheet of data with 6 columns;

    ID
    Surname
    First Name
    Job Status
    Time
    Date

    The date shows each time someone has checked in to our building but I would likd to count the data to see how many times each person has checked in (there is approximately 600 different people). I obviously dont want to have to do this with givin the sum a surname, i was hoping there might be a way to do it automatically.

    Thanks

    Hi alexc and welcome to the forum,

    I believe a simple pivot table can do this for you. See:

    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Drop it into a pivot table with a COUNT aggregation.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Drag the date person name in to the column pane, and the date into the value pane. The date aggregation should default to count.
