Thanks Niphlod. I worked for me.
Here is the complete code. In my controller: sum_of_entries = db.mydiary.id.count() year_part = db.mydiary.Entry_Date.year() distinct_years = db(db.mydiary.id > 0).select(sum_of_entries, year_part, groupby=db.mydiary.Entry_Date.year(), orderby=~sum_of_entries) In my view: <ul class="list-group"> {{for y in distinct_years:}} {{yr=y[year_part]}} {{count=y[sum_of_entries]}} <li class="list-group-item">{{=A(yr, _href=URL("year",args=yr))}}<span class ="badge pull-right">{{=count}}</span></li> {{pass}} </ul> -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
