Excel - Sort multiple columns based on single column

Hi everyone,

Hopefully I can explain this correctly...

I am creating a spreadsheet to keep track of inventory. I would like to take the SKU #, model #, size, and style (wide, medium, etc.), which are already in a row...

SKU MODEL SIZE STYLE
829024209851      26063      14        W
829024209852      26063      12        W
829024209853      26063      19        M

...and copy them into another worksheet on the same spreadsheet in a different format.

MODEL STYLE 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
26063      W 1 1
26063      M 1

...What this would do is allow there to be a quick way of seeing how many of each style there are per size. Each row is a different model (of course, each model has multiple styles, or widths, such as medium, wide, extra wide, etc.).

Is this possible???

I suggest to use Pivot table.
Model and Style will be in Row header, Size in column header and the Data could be Count of size.

Cheers,

You could also use COUNTIFS formula...

AWESOME!....I think the last part then is getting the formula to have the single row of 26063 W, and the single row of 26063 M...from the rows below...

SKU MODEL SIZE STYLE
829024209851 26063 14 W
829024209852 26063 12 W
829024209853 26063 19 M

I'm really scuffling with this part...

COUNTIFS worked best in my situation, but both solutions could work.
