Counting and displaying entry occurrence

[MulberyPie]

I want to keep a list of the appearances of a number in a data set. I'm trying to figure out the best way to collect and display the data. I've given a table with values. If I was sorting by type I would want to record how many times a number shows up the in the data set. I could show this in a table but that feels repetitive. Is there a better way to show this data, and would I use the COUNT function to record how many times a number appears?

# - how many entries

Species	Plant	Type	Quantity	Hardiness
holly	bush	leaf	2	9
maple	tree	leaf	3	9
iris	flower	bulb	3	7
azelea	bush	leaf	10	6
oak	sapling	seed	6	6
wild	grass	seed	8	5
ginko	tree	leaf	5	4
golf	grass	seed	3	3
oak	tree	seed	3	3
rose	flower	bulb	6	3
ginko	tree	seed	4	2
maple	sapling	seed	2	1
maple	bush	leaf
iris	flower	leaf
holly	bush	seed
rose	bush	leaf

Hi @MulberyPie ,

A simple count measure wil ldo the trick:

Hardiness Count = COUNT(Plants[Hardiness ])

Plenty of ways to show this information depending on your reuirement, some examples below:
