Do you already have the list of unique ids or you want to create it? As for the counting part, there are more than one ways to achieve this - based on type of data and how it is stored.
For better understanding, a sample workbook with what you have and what you want will help. However, anywhere before the column AF, a simple =COUNTIF(AF1:CJ50000,"Employee1") would return the count of Employee1written in those columns and rows regardless of blank coulmns between them.
