By my reckoning others should be 7 not 5.
You can do this easily using a combination of count, case and group by.

1/
lease read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.

2/
Also always post your Oracle version with 4 decimals.

3/
Post a workingTest case: create table and insert statements along with the result you want with these data.

Base on what? What is the rule? An ouput is not a question.

This is a FAQ answered many times, please search BEFORE posting.

We can't be sure, since we have no actual question.

Decode would be my choice. Good pointer though!
