Give this a whirl:

SELECT ZipCode, COUNT(ZipCode) from <tablename> GROUP BY ZipCode ORDER BY 2
DESC

Greetings folks.

I'm trying to write a line of code which displays unique data from a text
column (zipcodes), followed by a count of each row, and
ordered from highest to lowest. I've tried TALLEY, which works except that
it's not ordered. I've also tried a SELECT DISTINCT
(ZipCode), COUNT (ZipCode), but am told the command is illegal. I also tried
a SELECT ZipCode, Count (ZipCode) GROUP BY COUNT
(ZipCode).... and also received an error message.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Dan
