    Two methods.

     

    First:
    With Pivot Table. Click one of the cells of your data (for example cell A2) and then create a Pivot Table in same sheet when you are working. In my example I have created it in cell E13.

    • Draw the fields as I have made (see the printscreen).
    • In the VALUES box right click on Count of Course Date and in Value Field Settings choose Product.
    • Select cells F13:J18 and format them as date.

    Second:
    In colum E create a list with unique names.
    In cell F2 apply below formula:

     

    =IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$20,MATCH(1,INDEX(($A$2:$A$20=$E2)*($B$2:$B$20=F$1),),0)),"")

     

    drag it right and than down. Format cells F2:J5 as date.
