 Hi karthik

thanks for your comments. I was reading, but in case I need count how often all the rows repeat (of course I can't specificate the world) For example:

 

Table:

Jim

Tom

Tom

Mary

Jim

Jim

I would like to Return:

Jim      3

Tom    2

Tom    2

Mary   1

Jim      3

Jim      3

 

Thanks you very much!
