I have a list of items in google sheets and I want to generate a new sheet that provides a count by a sub-category. There can be an infinite number of items, and each can have an infinite number of sub-categories. I'm sure an answer of how to do it in Excel would guide me in the right direction too.
For the sake of simplicity let's pretend I have a list of individual gizmos and the color that they are piece by piece. I want to generate a new list that based on the that gives a total count of how many Blue wingdings there are, blue zingzongs, red wingdings, etc.... There could be any amount of colors or gizmos.
I'm looking for a solution like this but my problem is slightly more complicated.
