How to "group count" in Excel?
Dear Excel experts,
Here is the background:
I have a script that pulls all the “alarms” from all the “servers” from the environment.
The script output is csv file that holds the following columns and data:
• Time of the alarm.
• Component
• Alarm type
• Server ID
• And other data that not relevant to the question.
Some information about the relation of the items:
• For each component there are several “alarm type” and each “alarm type” belong to one specific component.
• Each alarm can have more than one instance (==line) on a server (ID).
Each component has
I would like to pull from this CSV file the following:
• Number of unique alarm currently in the system (basically to do some kind of “grouping” based on Alarm type.
• Number of unique alarm for each component (grouping based on ”component” and “alarm type”)
Or in other words, how do you I do “group count” in excel?
Thanks in advance,

Suggest you may want to use the frequency function. See the following link http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/count-occurrences-of-values-or-unique-values-in-a-data-range-HP003056118.aspx
I have also used sumproduct for this at times.

You can also sort by these 2 columns, then do a grouping, with a count function to get a similar result, but I think this will be harder to read for you.
