    Summation and charting of text categories

    I am attempting to do a search upon text values and have them sum up. We are logging test bugs for a client and we have introduced types into the mix. We are then trying to analyze the data and see the percentage of the bugs. So we have a list of all of the bugs and their categories within a spreadsheet. I would like to have excel go through the list, and sum up and chart the categories.
    An example would be:

    Field Mapping
    Field Mapping
    Field Mapping
    Field Mapping
    Field Mapping
    Typo
    Typo
    Typo
    Typo
    Incomplete
    Incomplete
    Incomplete
    Incomplete
    Incomplete

    So I would like to have a formula run and return results like so:

    Field Mapping 5
    Typo 4
    Incomplete 5

    And then chart the results.
