Finding Frequency of a datatype

I'm working with data that is essentially a bunch of timestamps for checkins. I've separated the dates into separate variables for month, day, hour but for the past hour I've been trying (to no avail) to basically convert this data into a format similar to what is displayed on a histogram.

Currently my data looks similar to this:

Month | Day | Hour
1        |1      | 1
1        |1      | 1
1        |1      | 1
1        |1      | 4
1        |1      | 4
1        |1      | 5

How do I convert in into data similar to this:

Month | Day | Hour | Frequency
1        |1      |1        | 3
1        |1      |2        | 0
1        |1      |3        | 0
1        |1      |4        | 2
1        |1      |5        | 1

Any help will be much appreciated, thank you so much :)

    This should do it.  I'm sure there's more efficient ways than this, but it's 1am here and am a little tired. Sorry.
