Count zeros

[john]

SELECT DISTINCT Ap2.test1, Count(Ap2.test1) AS AantalVantest1
FROM Ap2
GROUP BY Ap2.test1;

gives me a record count per unique value of test1 field. How do I include
the count of all the records without a value? The table resulting from the
query just shows an empty value with 0 as the count which is not correct.

thanks,
john

Your problem is that instances of ap2.test1 are null, which access
properly refuses to count. Change the count() to count something
which is not null. Use count("X") AS AantalVantest1 instead.
