Counting Feature

Hi I have a quick question.

I am currently working on a sheet with a series of projects listed. Each project has a number of people working on it. I have the project names and the people who are working on them as Dimensions on a pivot table. I need to add a column that allows me to count how many people there are working per project. I tried using the aggr() function, if statements, in addition to a few other features. I cannot seem to figure out how to do this.

Sure. I attached a photo of a sample I created. Shown are the Projects and next to it are the names of the people on each project. I need something that will count that there are 2 people in the first project or five people in the second project.

The highlighted cells are what I need. I don't have a count of how many people are working per project. That is what I am having trouble with

I tried that and a series of variations that involved it and the count i receive is 143 throughout the whole table. I think it is counting all of the employees and not differentiating who is on which project
