Often, in front of users of the table editor, the question arises that relates to counting the number of indicators in the column. In other words, it is necessary to calculate the number of fields in the column filled with a specific text or numerical information. The table editor has many variations that allow you to perform this feature.
The calculation procedure in the column
Depending on the purposes of the user in the table editor, you can implement the counting of all data in the column. We will analyze each method in more detail.
Method 1: Displays the number of values in the status barThis method is the easiest to use. It implements counting numeric and text information, but cannot be used when working with the conditions. General Action Algorithm:
- Select the required data area.
- We look into the line of the state.
- We learn the number of values.
