Hi,
Hoping someone can help with the following question

Sample Data
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="203"><colgroup><col style="width:48pt" width="64"> <col style="mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:2742;width:56pt" width="75"> <col style="width:48pt" width="64"> </colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;width:48pt" height="20" width="64">Name</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left:none;width:56pt" width="75">Date</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left:none;width:48pt" width="64">Visited</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">peter</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">01/12/2011</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">A</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">Jones</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">02/12/2011</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">A</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">Peter</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">01/12/2011</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">B</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">Angel</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">06/13/2011</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">B</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
Problem
Find users who exist in both categories? For example using the data above as reference I hope to have a pivot table that looks like the following.

As Peter has visited A and B both he only appears as a count in row heading "both" while vales for A and B is zero.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="278"><colgroup><col style="width:48pt" width="64"> <col style="mso-width-source:userset;mso-width-alt:2742; width:56pt" span="2" width="75"> <col style="width:48pt" width="64"> </colgroup><tbody><tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;width:48pt" height="20" width="64">
</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left:none;width:56pt" width="75">Dates</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left:none;width:56pt" width="75">
</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left:none;width:48pt" width="64">
</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">
</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">01/12/2011</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">02/12/2011</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">06/13/2011</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">Visited</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none">

</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">A</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">1</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">B</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height:15.0pt" height="20"> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;border-top:none" height="20">Both</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">1</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-top:none;border-left:none" align="right">0</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
