Count Distinct in access while totaling up values

[singhals]

I have two columns of data something like this:

A 11
A 12
B 14
C 15
C 42
C 94
D 12

I want my query to result in a distinct count of data in column 1 and sum of column 2. So result should be something like:
4 200

I think one way could be to first run a query to group by column 1 and sum of column 2 and then on resultant table run a count of column 1.

However I want to explore if there is a way within ms-acces of skipping above make a single query.

This is SQL using subqueris and it works for me.

SELECT Count(A) AS CountOfTxt, Sum(B) AS SumOfNo
FROM (SELECT t.Txt as A,Sum(t.No) as B
FROM tbl_Demo as t
GROUP BY t.Txt);

Where txt is the text column and No is the number column.

If you have any questions please ask.
