Good afternoon, we are tidying up some data & the data seems to be growing quicker than we are tidying it up!

What we confirm (by reviewing it manually) is whether the relationship between our "old data" and our "new data" is TBC, Yes or No.

***What we'd like to put in are dynamic counts of i) the total number of possibilities ii) # TBC, iii) # Yes iv) # No***

By the way, we have looked at various ways of concatenating info, then doing pivot tables & counts... But we do this so often every day on all sorts of differently updated files that we are hoping there may be a better solution? Maybe involving VBA? The files are generally 20K-50K rows and formula type options don't seem to work I'm afraid.

Our Data is arranged in 3 columns:

NB, the explanation column is only to help illustrate what's here, we wouldn't actually need that!

Thanks for any help

Old DataNew DataStatusTotal # Possibilities# TBC# Yes#NoExplanation (only for illustration)
compositeplasticTBC1100there is only one possible relationship between the old and new data. And it is "TBC".
woodoakTBC2110There are 2 possiblities for "wood" = oak & rustic. And one of those is "TBC" and one is "yes"
woodrusticYes2110ditto above
414878plasticNo1001Sometimes our old data is not a text string, it's an order code which is a number. It has only one possiblity and that is a "no"
raw materialsfinished productNo2011For "raw materials", there are 2 possible "new data's". and one is "yes" and one is "no".

Excel Facts

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

Mr Moshi, you are an absolute legend....

Not only has that given us the EXACT counts which we were expecting but it devoured a set of data 50K rows long in about 10 seconds.

That's absolutely superb - thank you very much indeed.

With Warm Regards!
