Comparing Two Columns to find blanks/nonblanks

[jmelinda]

Hello,

I have an excel sheet that is tracking parking spaces in a parking lot. There are three types of spaces "standard" "compact" and "tandem." Column B designates which type of space. Column C designates if someone is assigned to the spaces (we put a name).

Is there a formula or script that can tell me how many spaces have someone assigned in Column C, and how many are free(blank) in Column C, for each of the three parking types?

For example

B C
Compact Doe, J
compact Doe, J
compact
tandem Doe J
tandem
standard Doe J
standard

would return:
Occupied compact: 2
Free compact: 1
Occupied standard: 1
Free Standard: 1
Occupied Tandem: 1
Free tandem: 1

Thank you for any assistance you could provide.

I would use the sumproduct function to count.
