I want to be able to count within a table, the number of times a value appears within a column.
For example i have the data below with 5 employees. And a [Hierarchy Path] string column.
I want to be able to count the number of times the [Employee] appears within the Column, [Hierarchy path].
| Employee | Hierarhy Path | Column String Count |
| AA | EE | AA | 4 |
| BB | EE | AA | BB | 1 |
| CC | EE | AA | CC | 1 |
| DD | EE | AA | DD | 1 |
| EE | EE | 5 |
