HI All
I have created a list of rows of data when using the FILTER function to list from a table any entries that require further action.
In the further action column in the table the answer is yes or no.
I used the FILTER function to get a list of records where the further action column said "Yes"
Example here:

27-Jun-23​
TueJun23HousekeepingUnsafe ConditionYesSome areas required attention, Bailey Bridge area, under Piperack 1 at grade, 1st lift scaffold South of stack duct ISBL.Open
27-Jun-23​
TueJun23HousekeepingUnsafe ConditionYesWater bottles all over the site - picked up and disposed off in the bags and skipsClosed
28-Jun-23​
WedJun23Work at HeightUnsafe ConditionYesLoose materials on scaffolds at height - removed in the shiftClosed
28-Jun-23​
WedJun23HousekeepingUnsafe ConditionYesNeeded at height on scaffolds - undertaken during the nightClosed
28-Jun-23​
WedJun23Environmental HealthUnsafe ConditionYesFireproofing shed not sealed off causing dust issue - completed during the nightClosed
30-Jun-23​
FriJun23HousekeepingUnsafe ConditionYesSkips and bags need removing from west of ISBL - all done and emptied and removedClosed
01-Jul-23​
SatJul23HousekeepingUnsafe ConditionYesHousekeeping on Pipe Rack 1 needs to be undertaken - full of clips and bandingsClosed
01-Jul-23​
SatJul23Work at HeightUnsafe ConditionYesHousekeeping RequiredOpen

The above is the result from the FILTER function "=FILTER(AllObs1,AllObs1[Further Action]="Yes") I have tried to place this in a table but will not allow.
This formula expands each time there is a Yes placed in the main table (AllObs1) so no issue with the function working. I have done a countif formula to count the number of subjects in the list such as Housekeeping , Working at height etc but I cant seem to work out how to do it dynamically, e.g., as the list expands the count also expands, I have to go back and expand the range manually to include the new entries.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
William

How about
Excel Formula:
=LET(u,UNIQUE(INDEX(A2#,,5)),HSTACK(u,COUNTIFS(INDEX(A2#,,5),u)))
Change the A2# to the cell with the filter function.

Hi RudRud
Thanks for such a prompt reply appreciated.
The two formula in K1 and K2 work fine apart from the fact that it is counting the number of entries twice.
E.g., Housekeeping in the main table is 208 times and formula gives me 416, Working at height with a yes is 17 but formula gives me 34.
Can you help?
Thanks
William

HI RudRud
Initially I just added "/2" to your formula and it got the result but the solution above works perfectly, thank you very much
Works fine now

Hi Fluff
My knowledge of the LET formula left me a bit nervous to follow it. So I read up on it and watched some videos and then applied it my Filtered formula and it works perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me on the LET formula.
