I have a table of data that has a state and city column. I have sorted the table based on the two columns appropriately, however I am actually looking to just count the number of rows per each state and then another by cities for statistical analysis.
How do I count the unique entries in those columns and then display them in another portion of the table or in another table in the spreadsheet document? I am assuming that doing this programmatically may be best.
I have to say that a PivotTable does the trick. After about 3 minutes of playing around it became rather clear, although I have to say that the MS Office 2011 release I’m on is not very intuitive with regards to where to actually go.
Notwithstanding, I really liked @enderland’s recommendation. True it was not the solution exactly, but I usually prefer programatic approaches for solutions. Thanks for that!
