Count how many times a record appears

Question

I have a query which has a column, schloc

schloc

TEST
TEST
TEST
TEST
NOTEST
NOTEST
NOTEST
NOTEST
RANDOM
RANDOM
RANDOM
RANDOM

I want to put it in a table in my SSRS report like this:

TEST     NOTEST     RANDOM
4        4          4

How can I use the COUNT for my expression to get the count?

I tried to add this: =SUM(IIF(IsNothing(Fields!Completed.Value),0,1)) but it didn't yield anything in the report.

Answer 1

One way, if there is a discrete list of options that isn't going to change:

=SUM(IIF(Fields!shloc.Value="Test", 1,0))

Otherwise, you'll want to do something like a PIVOT in the SQL query in your dataset, or possibly custom VB.

Answer 2

Here you need to use GroupBy to get the count :

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourTable GROUP BY schloc
