    Displaying Data By Category By Year

    DATA: list of films released by year, with box office totals and genre

    GOAL: Function to sort data by year, then displaying how many films in each genre were released each year.
    e.g. horror comedies, romantic films released in 1981, 82, etc

    Is there a function, or series of functions, by which I can do this without having to sort through manually? Thank you in advance for your help.

    Try Pivot table
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    Well, that tries to sum the years, instead of recognizing the year as a qualifier/condition.

    Put the years in first column and group data by year. That should do the trick.
    It's hard to give more info without seeing actual workbook.
