Identify Combinations

Excel: Please see attachment
I need to look at PM_NUM column A and combine TaskNum column B where column A is the same.

The end result is to find out how many different combinations I have and how many times they are repeated.

Copy PM_NUM column to an empty column.
Remove duplicates.
Then use a countif formula to find the number of times they are repeated.
See file.

Or use a pivot table to do the same.

Thanks that is helpful but I was hoping to be able to obtain a list of the unique PM_NUM with the TaskNums associated with each.
