Greetings all.

I know that this topic has been handled in bits and chunks before, and I've browsed all the topics I could, but I'm curious about how to tie this all together.

I have a list of people and the logs of calls they've taken throughout a day.
I have the persons name, and thier employee ID. Each employee takes multiple calls, and each call shows up on its own line. Something like this:

CALL_TIME, AGENT_NAME, AGENT_ID
11:00, John Doe, Agent1
11:02, Jane Smith, Agent2
11:09, John Doe, Agent1
11:11, Rob Lowe, Agent3
11:13, John Doe, Agent1
11:14, Rob Lowe, Agent3

I am looking to produce something like this in a different worksheet:
AGENT_ID, CALLS_TAKEN
Agent1, 3
Agent2, 1
Agent3, 2

If anyone would be able to help, or point me in the right direction, it would be awesome, and greatly appreciated.

Thanks all for any help :rolleyes:

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

Greets!

Thanks for the fast reply, you rock!

Is there anyway that this could also be accomplished via a function or script? I ask this because I have two sets of the data above, for different call types, and I've never figured out how the heck to mesh both sets of data together via a pivottable.

Thanks again! :)

Formulas...

D2 must house a 0.

D3, copied down:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(C3,$C$2:C2,0)),"",LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,$D$2:D2)+1)

F1:

=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,D:D)

F3, copied down:

=IF(ROW()-ROW(F$3)+1<=$F$1,LOOKUP(ROW()-ROW(F$3)+1,D:D,C:C),"")

G3, copied down:

=COUNTIF(C:C,F3)

Aladin,

Your solution worked like a charm!

Thank you again very much. The data now comes together quite nicely and without errors.

One thing I did to tweak your last formula for the G3 series of cells is changed it to: "=IF(F3="","",COUNTIF(C:C,F3))". It looks like everything is working fine with that tiny change, I hope. :)

Thanks again, you guys are awesome and very helpful :)
