I was given a spreadsheet that lists data in columns (Manager Name, Region, Department, Car 1, Car 2, Car 3, etc.). I need to be able to figure out the total number of each type of car based on the region, manager, etc. (there are about 50 different car models). I'm trying to figure out how to normalize the data without creating 50 new columns for each different model of car. I've tried creating pivots, but I have to make three separate tables and then add them. I am certain that I am overlooking something embarrassingly obvious, but I could really use some help. Thanks very much in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
get the unique car models by using advanced filter

then using each of the model you can get what you want using sumproduct

without the actual spread sheet it is difficult to give more help
