I have 4 columns of data with field names/column headers (people, office, case number, date). I have over 60,000 rows of data within those 4 columns. A single case number can have multiple people work on it over a given period of time in different offices (ex: John worked on case number 3 during the dates of 08-02-2011, 02-03-2012, and 07-08-2012 in the Alpha office. Jack also worked on case number 3 during the dates of 05-05-2012 and 11-12-2012 in the Beta office during May and the Gamma office during November). Some cases have one person in one office who worked on it one time. Other cases have multiple people who worked on it, in different offices, and during different times. I want to easily see the total number of days/dates each person has worked on a case and then in sub categories show the case numbers and dates they worked on them. I used a pivot table which worked fine when I placed the case number in the Row Labels area along with the dates and in the Values area I either placed the dates and/or the case number. I filtered the case numbers to only show those that were greater than or equal to 4 (wanting to narrow down those cases that were worked on 4 or more times). However, when I placed the people in the Row Labels area at the top (above the case numbers and dates) I was seeing a smaller number than before. Excel excludes those case numbers that had two or more people who worked on it because it would count them at least twice in the pivot table returning a higher number that would be false (I get that logically). But how can I display what I am wanting to see? Is using a pivot table the right way to go about this? Again, I want to quickly & easily see the total number of days/dates each person has worked on a case and then in sub categories show the case numbers and dates they worked on them (for cases that were worked on 4 or more times). Can anyone help with this please? Thank you!
