count expression with text

[#1]

Hello,

I have a question about the count expression. For example, we have table of driver's (fields ID_driver, name_car, city....), then i have a car's table (fields, id_car, name_car, driver_id, car_type). I would like to make a stack graph with the number of drivers that use a type of car. I mean, in the y axe we will have count(id_driver) and in the x axe (city). The question is how can i do the y axe? if i use count(id_driver) it doesnt work, id_driver is a text, i need to counter the numbers of drivers that we have in each city. If i have not been clear, please let me know.

Thanks

Hi Raul,

What is the result you get with that expression? Too many values than the expected?

Try usind count( DISTINCT id_driver ).

I assume there are numeric and repeated values because it is a key, so you have to use the DISTINCT clause.

If that doesn't help please explain better the tables involved.

Regards.
