Default Creating frequency lists in Excel

If I have a column of different variables, how do I tell Excel to give
me a list of what variables are in that column and their frequency?

Default Creating frequency lists in Excel

Excel has a feature to perform this - Pivot Table

Say column A has data like:

Animals
cat
cat
dog
dog
dog
mouse
mouse
..
..
..

A Pivot table can list each animal and how often it appears in the column.
