Hi guys, I´m new to the forum.

I´m having trouble with a formula that would allow me to search for the frequency of a column conditioned to anothe column, I can´t use pivot tables since the data comes from a Query from SQL that needs to be automated on excel.

[TABLE="width: 500"]

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Sort by date Sort by votes
you are not stating clearly (for me anyway) what you want

is it how many of 24168596915 paired with sam and eg 123456789 paired with sam or DS

Correct, I want to count of all the "merchant ID" paired with "ID" e.g. for the table above: SAM = 1(since it´s the same merchan ID#), DS =1 & FBA =1. The main problem is thar both Merchant ID & ID repeat througout the whole rows a vast number of times and i want the formula to count every unique pair only as one. I don´t know if I´m being clear?

Thannks for the reply, but I need to extract it as it is with a formula, as I said previously it can´t be pivot table or calculate a concatenated field and the another formula.

Thanks for the reply again oldbrewer, not to sound rude but i know how to use pivot tables, the thing is that it´s a sheet that comes from an SQL Query from a metric job for an excel slide that gets sent automatically through an email nudge. And also it has to be presented into a specific format and a Pivot table doesn´t work. Thanks again!
