Excel filter - how to filter on most common value

workaccount · 2010-01-08 12:32:49

Hi, I have an excel doc here with about 30k lines and multiple columns. One column contains values which repeat every so often through the document. Can I filter on the most commonly appearing item, second most common etc? Any info appreciated - thanks.

It sounds like a pivot table might be what you need, but unfortunately I'm not good enough with pivot tables to explain them. There's a few youtube videos (search for ms excel pivot tables tutorial) that might help, and this might help as well.
