If you look at MS-SQL queries  
select T1.column1 AS 'A'  
, count(T1.column1) AS 'C'  
from Table1 T1  
group by column1  
having count(column1) \> 1

But I would like to have a lookup at the elastic  
Will it be possible?

It's been a while since I did SQL, but look at using a [terms aggregation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/search-aggregations-bucket-terms-aggregation.html) on the `column1` field.

@Sihwan or you could try [the `_sql` endpoint](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/xpack-sql.html) with that exact same query. If it works for you and don't want to use SQL, maybe [the `translate` call](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.x/sql-translate.html) will help you to get a useful ES query DSL instead.
