Once you have classes marked, you can turn enable an autofilter and then filter on each class as needed to list enrolled students. The formula in G6 relies on the COUNTIF function to count the presence of a given class (i.e. “math”, art", etc.) in a columns C through F: Class names are pulled from row 5, and references are mixed to allow the formula to be copied across and down the table.
