Sorting 2 Columns of Data in Excel
Good morning.
I would like to sort two columns of data in Excel.
In Column J I have results called 'VSC Results' in column N I have results called 'NSL Results'.
I then have all my rows, and in each row I have either a 'pass' or a 'fail' in the results columns for both columns J and N.
I would like to sort the results so I get the numbers of passess and fails for differnet permutations
eg
Fail VSC (results from column J) and Fail NSL (results from column N) = X number count
Fail VSC but Pass NSL = ?
Pass VSC and Pass NSL = ?
Pass VSC but Fail NSL = ?
Screenshot attached.
I am sure there is a very simple way to do this, whether with a formula/filter, or a pivot table, but I don't know how to do this. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Hi Adrian Marston,
You asked for sorting. It is possible.
But data in pdf shows there is a gap between data. You can't apply filter by selecting all. Because whole data will combine without separation.
If don't want to combine them, you can apply filter by selecting each group.
If you want COUNT of above, i will refer formula. Which one you want.
Thank you for the quick reply. I would like a count please to show total number of
Fail/Fail
Fail/Pass
Pass/Pass
Pass/Fail

Hi Adrian Marston,
Just put the formula in cells, where you want result.
=COUNTIFS(J:J,"fail",N:N,"fail") =COUNTIFS(J:J,"fail",N:N,"pass") =COUNTIFS(J:J,"pass",N:N,"pass") =COUNTIFS(J:J,"pass",N:N,"fail")
each formula in each cell.
Ask if you have any queries.
