Get frequency of a column in SQL Server
46,730
Solution 1
Use aggregate functions
Select column, count(*)
From table
Group By column
This will return one row that contains the count, for each distinct value in column
Solution 2
One row each value:
select column 'value', count (column) 'Frequency'
from table
group by column
if only 2 values this give you both results in one row
select sum(case when column=1 then 1 else 0 end) as '1 Frequency',
sum(case when column=2 then 1 else 0 end) as '2 Frequency'
from table

I have a column with values like 1,1,2,1,... and I would want to get the frequency of 1 and 2, I did
SELECT count(column) FROM table WHERE column = 1; SELECT count(column) FROM table WHERE column = 2;
But, could I take the frequency with a more direct way?
