Sorry, my boss would have a problem if I uploaded the actual worksheet. Hopefully the attached will give you an idea. Saw how to post worksheet when first submitting a question but not how to do it now.

You have to Edit your question. In Edit mode you have access to the button at the bottom you saw before.

The attached workbook recreates your "Report Out" report using a COUNTIF function to extract the count. Count criteria are listed in column G.
[H2] =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$7,"*" & $G2 & "*")It also contains a bar chart created form those data.
- Select the range G2:H9
- From the Data tab select the type of chart you want.
- Click OK to create the chart.
- Move it to the location on the sheet where you want it.
You can drag it click-and holding the left mouse button while the cursor appears like a cross of two-sided arrows. The cursor won't have this shape while hoving over the chart in all positions. Move it around until it does.
