Summarize multiple string fields independent of each other

I am drawing a blank over this and want to throw this here for some help. Let me know how silly it is of me to not be able to figure this out.... I swear I am missing something right in front of my eyes.

 

How do I get counts of each field in a file independent of other field in the same file? If I have more than 25+ fields in an excel sheet and I want to get counts of values in each field - summarize tool is not cutting it as I have to use too many summarize tools.

 

I am attaching an excel file where the first tab is some sample data and second tab is the output I am trying to get. Any help is greatly appreciated.

transpose. summarize tool group by name/count (or count distinct value) - that will give you a count of distinct values in each column.

@sowjanyayinti 
I made some twist based on the idea of @apathetichell  to comply with your specified format.

Thank you all. I didn't think of the tile tool. Appreciate your quick responses.

@flying008  - how did you get the record id in the summarize tool. I see only Name and value in the summarize tool. Also, I tried to figure out how you did your workflow and I am not getting the counts at the end. How did you get the counts without selecting them in the 'select' tool at the end?

 

Can you share your workflow please?

Ignore my previous comment. I figured it out  how you got the counts but still not sure how you were able to output record id in the summarize tool:).
