I have a data set where each of our customers can have one or more than one of our 10 products. The data right now is organized like this:

Column Names: Customer name/product 1/product 2/ product 3/....
Entry: Emma/Y/N/N...

I need an easy way to not only see how many people have product 1, but how many of those people have product 1 and 2. I just cannot figure out how to organize my data to help me do this. I've tried pivot tables, but it's just not combining the data in a helpful way.

I'm really looking forward to your advice!
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.

Agree that seeing some data would help, but assuming your data looks something like below, maybe you can adapt this...

"...to not only see how many people have product 1, but how many of those people have product 1 and 2..."

I would set up further columns to flag the conditions you are after and use them:

=and(b2="Y",c2="Y",d2="Y")

...or whatever. With the flags in place, you can then use simple sumif()s, pivot tables etc to get what you're after.

And I want to be able to say:

1000 people have product 1
Of those 1000 people, 10 have product 1 and 2; 700 have product 1 and 3; 25 have product 1, 2, and 3.

How should I set it up?

Thank you!

Try to forward result specifications in terms of the sample you posted, not in terms of the whole data.

Okay, so in the sample I shared all 11 people have product 1. Of those 11 people how many have product 2? How many have product 2 and 3?

I stick with my initial suggestion - do the flagging long-hand with a bunch of appropriately constructed and()s, then count those.

So have column headers that read: "Product 1 and 2" "Product 1, 2, and 3"? Is there an easy way to do that? Seems like I'd have to go through all 4000 records.
