How to count records in a field?

I have a database field with a set number of possible values, say 10. I want to be able to count the number of each type of record in that field and display the results of each count. Can anyone help please?

Create a calculation field for each possibility: possibility_1 for example, if(field="1", "Y", ""). Then create summary fields for each possibility. Summary count in this example or the "Y" could be a number and you could use the summary-total. Not a lean solution, but it works.

Or just create a summary report and print it out.
