>>Hello,

>>I have a table with 1,500 records and with one column: ID, comprised of numeric data ranging from 1 - 1,591. As the

>>and numbers that appear less frequently (they happen to be smaller numbers.)
>>So, I want to know if certain values appear more often than others, kind of like a heat map, except the response would
