Hello, I'm wondering if there is some kind of calculation or summary that will allow me to view a count of how many times each word or phrase shows up in a field.

To put things simply, when I hit Ctrl-I to index a field as shown in the image, I'd also like to see how many times each indexed word appears in that field:

What is the best way to accomplish this? It doesn't matter where the number shows up, I just want to get a quick count of everything in the index.

Thanks

Perhaps a sub-summary report by this field.

However, to me, if you require reporting, you should be using IDs. That is, this field should contain the ID of a value from a table that is devoted to these choices. Counting IDs is much more accurate.

btw, the index contains one occurrence of each unique value. So, you're not really interested in analyzing the index.
