This works in T-SQL. If you're just counting the number of something and you want to include the nulls, use COALESCE instead of case.

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#us') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE #us

CREATE TABLE #us
    (
    a INT NULL
    );

INSERT INTO #us VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4),(NULL),(NULL),(NULL),(8),(9)

SELECT * FROM #us

SELECT CASE WHEN a IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NON-NULL' END AS 'NULL?',
        COUNT(CASE WHEN a IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NON-NULL' END) AS 'Count'
    FROM #us
    GROUP BY CASE WHEN a IS NULL THEN 'NULL' ELSE 'NON-NULL' END

SELECT COALESCE(CAST(a AS NVARCHAR),'NULL') AS a,
        COUNT(COALESCE(CAST(a AS NVARCHAR),'NULL')) AS 'Count'
    FROM #us
    GROUP BY COALESCE(CAST(a AS NVARCHAR),'NULL')
