Count number of records with a particular value in a value list

I am looking to make a report to count the number of items in a given value list.

For example, for each record I need to select a "Problem Classification" from my Problem Classification value list.

At the end of each week, I need to generate a report for:

a) showing the total number of each problem type selected, defined in the value list for all records

:( showing the total number of each problem type selected, defined in the value list for that given week.

I am VERY new to FileMaker (running version 6), can someone please be very specific and help me out?

Assuming each record is classified as ONE type only, you can simply sort them by type and show the totals using a summary field (Count of Type) in a sub-summary part.
