Maybe somebody can help me with (hopefully) a minor FileMaker Pro
Question.

 Suppose in a database there is a text field with 3 or more options:
name_of_field: (o) option1 , (o) option 2, (o) option 3

Whenewer I enter a dataset I check out one of these options. How can I
automatically detect the total number of option1, option2, option3 ?
When I say automatically I mean that I don't want to search for each of
these options, and let filemaker find the numbers.
Although this is a simple question I could not find any hint in the
manual and no formula could - so far - achieve the result I am looking
for.
