Next question....
How can I show how many of each there were?
SO now I have 

breafast
lunch
dinner

I want to have

breafast        2
lunch           3
dinner          3

etc...
is that just as easy?

Breaking down a table field.... 
  
  




I have a table, wth many entries.
Each entry has been asigned a unit to belong to.

I want to list all the units dynamically.
How can I display all the units, without displaying each instance of the
unit?

EG:

Unit                    item
breakfast               cereal
breakfast               toast
lunch                   salad
lunch                   sandwich
dinner                  steak
dinner                  pie
lunch                   soup
dinner                  lasagne

and so on..
I'd wanna get a list of:
breafast
lunch
dinner

not several instances of each...
how can I do this?
