    Challenge for everyone - Sort a text list adding a count in the bottom of each group. :)

    Hello everyone

    I know you're all busy so i'll keep it as brief as possible, I have a challenge that i haven't been able to solve for a while besides doing it manually which i'm estimating would take a year at least. I've searched the net and this forum and came up empty. So what i'd like to do put all the make and models into a group with a total at the bottom and them sort them with the highest performer to the lowest performer

    I.E from this:

    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra

    To:
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Holden Astra
    Total 7

    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Toyota Camry
    Total 5

    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Toyota Corolla
    Total 4

    Is this possible?

    Also is there a way to sort and place into a new sheet from this
    http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...9.08.54-pm.jpg
    Which has been ordered by year, then in the second column by month i.e 2 = February

    and placed into a new sheet that looks like this

    http://www.excelforum.com/attachment...9.07.48-pm.jpg

    Where you can see all the January or "1" have been put together from the years of 2008 to 2013 and placed side by side for comparison.

    Then the above formula to group all the makes and models and have a tally should be added to have the top performers at the top.

    I've attached a sample before and after i hope this helps I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you again for everything.


    Thank you so much everyone I really appreciate your help, I hope to hear from you all soon as I'll be using this for a uni assignment and my lecturer is stumped.


    Thanks again.

    Have you tried pivot tables?

    To arrive at the presentation you have above, sort your column alphabetically, then apply the sub-totals function. I have a PC and am not familiar with the UI for a MAC. But in earlier versions of the PC application, it is under Data. This will apply the counts after every change in topic.
