First time posting..

I have a large data set with three columns: Date purchased, Item, and Transaction id.

The transaction id can have multiple items for the same transaction id.

I want to search how many times different item combinations repeat for each transaction id.

I.e. I want to count how many times someone would order Chicken and Grain bowl together based on different transaction ids[TABLE="width: 314"]

Hope that explanation made sense.

Sorry. I have attached a screenshot, hopefully that provides more clarity.

Ignore the attempt to load a photo.

Column A = Date
Column B = Item
Column C = Transaction ID

I want to find out how many times multiple "Items" combinations occur for each transaction ID.

I.e. All the food items are in the same column and there are multiple base items (Bowls, Salads, etc) and multiple protein items (Chicken, Beef, etc.). I am trying to find out how many times a Bowl and Chicken are ordered by someone in the same transaction id.
