The query itself doesn't error out like this, but I'm not getting the needed results to "count" categories like I need: <cfquery name="PA_CT" datasource="phoenixart"> SELECT DISTINCT PA_COUNTRY, ID, PA_CATEGORY FROM papers GROUP BY PA_COUNTRY, ID, PA_CATEGORY </cfquery> <CFSET egypt_Count = ListValueCountNoCase(ValueList(PA_CT.PA_COUNTRY),"egypt")> This should give me the number of distinct "categories" for the distinct country, "egypt". However, it's counting each individual instance, not the unique ones: This is a "flat" database - so, I'm trying to group the countries, and then count the number of unique catagories for each country... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
