If I've got a column with lots of different values in, but they can be
repeated, eg:

Bob
Sarah
Steve
Sarah
Sarah
Bob
Jim

etc etc. Is there a way I can split them up by value and count the
number of times each value appeared, keeping in mind that the values
entered will be different all the time so I can't set a list of values
to check through, they could be anything. So say for the list above,
I'd want to get the following displayed somewhere for printing:

Bob 2
Sarah 3
Steve 1
Jim 1

Any help would be most appreciated!!
