Counting frequency of all values in a table

[bluearrow]

Hi,

How would you manage counting the frequency of all values in a field within a table?

For instance, there are 10 records in Table1. Field1 in Table1 has the following values:

Empty, 2, 4, Empty, 3, 1, 4, 4, 1, 4

The information I need would be:

Empty = 2 times

1 = 2 times

2 = 1 time

3 = 1 time

4 = 4 times

I guess this can be handled by a self cartesian relationship but I do not want to create more than one relationship or several different calculated fields. Field1 values are not part of a list: they could be any numeric value, included zero or even the field could be empty).

Thanks in advance

What do you want then? Subsummary reports seems to fit the bill then, if a single summary doesn't count as calculated field in plural - unfortunately are the semantics a little diffuse here?

However do I usually solve such a problem in the vicinity of this:
