Question

I have a table with figures like this

Report used                  UserID

 1                             2

 1                             2

 1                             2

 2                             2

In this case I’m looking to count the 1’s in the ‘Report used’ column, which would give me the value 3. I might find a few of these in this column for different users, so I’d want to count how many times I found 3 1’s.

I’ve tried using SELECT COUNT to count specific numbers but I’m not sure how to count this count, if you follow me.

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT userid, COUNT(reportused) onescount 
FROM tablename 
WHERE reportused = 1
GROUP BY userid

Also check this:

SELECT COUNT(userid) 
FROM (SELECT userid, COUNT(reportused) onescount 
      FROM tablename 
      WHERE reportused = 1
      GROUP BY userid) a 
WHERE onescount = 3
