I have a table with the below data:

ID Cat Rat Rabbits

001 A B D
002 A C E
003 B A A
004 A E B
005 D A B
006 B C A

I want to count the # of A,B,C,D and E's from each column.

SELECT cat,sum(Abs(cat="A" or "B" or "C" or "D")) as Cat_Tot from sample group by cat.

The above query works for single column.

Output sample.
Cat Count Rat Count Rabbits Count
A 2 A 2 A 1
B 2 B 1 C 2

Can anyone help with this please?
