How to find unique pairs out of two columns
Hi!

I have a list consisting of two columns which may contain duplicate data, but I need to pull out all unique entries across the two columns.

For example if I have in Column A & B...
  • Stan 28
  • Bob 11
  • Stan 12
  • Bob 11
  • Stan 28
  • Bob 11
  • Dorris 14

I only want to see the unique combinations of the two colums in another two columns C & D and with their no. of times they occur in original dataset in column F as ...
  • Stan 28  2
  • Bob 11  3
  • Stan 12 1
  • Dorris 14 1
Thanks in advance!
