How to calculate # of unique locations for an item in an list.

Sorry, I think the reason I'm having trouble finding the answer is I don't know how to phrase my question.

I exported the total inventory of a character from a game into an excel sheet. I'm trying to consolidate the items into as few storage locations as possible.

Column A is the location of the item, such as in my inventory, vault or saddlebags.

Column B is the name of the item.

Column C is the number of the item in the stack.

The problem I'm running into is that Item 1 can only stack up to 10 units per inventory slot, so if there are 13 in my inventory it's listed as;

Inventory Item 1 10

Inventory Item 1 3

This has it showing up as 2 locations when I try using a pivot table, even though it's just 1. What's the best way to go about being able to determine at a glance which items are stored at multiple locations? I have basic familiarity with pivot tables and power query.

Thank you ahead of time! If you need more details, let me know.
