Count of columns with date per person

Hi All

 

need help. i have an export of a training module program and i need to summarise the data in different reports

 

i have 200 users and over 100 training modules exported in a spreadsheet. Format of excel as below (but in a larger scale)

the training columns are not labelled as 1, 2, 3 etc, they are the names of the actual modules

if the module was completed i get a date stamp and a blank if no completion to date

 

User NameTraining 1Traning 2Training 3....Traning 100
User 112/07/2021    
User 2 12/07/202112/07/2021  
...     
User 200     


i need to summarise the data as

 

- count how many modules completed by each user
- count how many users have completed each module so i can show popular to non popular modules (somehow show this in a report/table without having to drag in 100+ columns)

thankyou in advance

@Anonymous , I know data would increase , but unpivot thee columns. Then you will have these in rows. Remove rows with blank timestamp if needed
