Distinct Count

Hello I have a field (projectNME that has 4 possible values.

I have a list of 2,681 records of which these 4 values (print, digital, motion & video) comprise all of the records.

I want to get a count of how many times print, digital, etc appear. What is the expression?

Output from this data should look like this

May be add projectNME as a dimension and Count(projectNME) as expression

These seems to only count the 4 unique projectNME's. I am looking for the distinct number of times that 'print' and 'motion' appear

Are you sure you are doing this?

Expression

Count(projectNME)

Do not add DISTINCT to your expression. This will give you a chart where you will have print, digitial as your dimension and number of times they appear

I am not sure what you mean distinct number of times? Can you elaborate by sharing a sample with expected output?

My data appears as this. Trying with the actual field names this time

jobsJobTypeID

1

In my script, I have an in-line table, which appears as:

jobsJobTypeID, JobType

1, Print

2, Digital

3, Motion

4, Video

I want to calculate from the data, the number of times total that '1' (Print) appears and so on.
