Answer 1

Answer: Hi following is the step to know that

select the table and insert a pivot table:

Place Customer ID in row and product name in column, then place the product name in value field and set it to the count

Now select the table and paste it in another sheet as a table only (not the pivot table)

Then remove the Grand total column and create a count of product column which will have the count function to count the number of entries under various product column against each of the customer Id.

This will tell us how many differnet type of product each customer has ordered in the data set.
