Pivot Table: count multiple columns

I've got a worksheet in which each row represents a specific task. For each task, there will be at least one assignee and perhaps up to four assignees. I'd like to make a pivot table that will count the number of times each assignee has been assigned to a task. Currently, when I add each assignee column to the pivot table, they nest under each other. Is there a way to have them count all together instead of nested?

Current worksheet looks like this:
[TABLE="width: 700"]

Code:

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Extracted Month Name" = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Date", each Date.MonthName(_), type text}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Extracted Month Name",{"Task ID", "Location"}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"Date", "Task"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"[/SIZE]

It appears so, though it doesn't look like a pivot table as I'm familiar with them (to the limited degree that I am familiar with them). Using your method, does the table incorporate new data automatically? (i.e., if we add a new entry for Rick Row doing a Research visit in January, would it add a new row for Rick Row under Research and a new column for January?)

I'm unfamiliar with PowerQuery...going to have to do some poking around.

Thanks for your response!

Great info, thanks!

I think I've pretty much got it set up and reporting properly. One quick question, though: when I make changes to the original dataset, do I always need to refresh the query table and then the pivot table or is there a way to have the automatically refresh?

:) Both

Refresh PivotTable (you don't need refresh Query Table)
or
You can use any vba code to refresh PivotTable on Worksheet_Change but IMHO it doesn't make any sense with a big data
or
PivotTable option - Data - Refresh data when opening the file

Got it. Going to have to read your links on Get & Transform and Power Query a bit more closely later.

Thanks for your help!

You are welcome

Power Query aka Get&Transform - it's the same

Have a nice day
