Hi,

I've following issue: Ive a dataset containing data like
Order number = 12345
Description = "AB: jdkjsd"
planned_date="12.3.2020"

Order number = 12346
Description = "BC: jdkjsd"
planned_date="12.3.2020"

Order number = 12347
Description = "BA: jdkjsd"
planned_date="12.3.2020"

 

now I'd like to have a table which counts me the number of events for "BC:*", "AB:*" OR "BA:*",... and so on - I'm quite new and google didnt helped me, can someone help? Thanks!
