Count Selection of Field of Records

Summary

How to count the same values

If you select “Count Same Values Separately”, the number of selections is simply counted regardless of the selected value.

If you select Count Same As One, two or more rows that have the same value will be counted as one, i.e., “how many different values are chosen”.

For example, if you have three records, the value of the field to count is

  • Line 1: A, B, C
  • Line 2: X
  • Line 3: Y, Z, A

, then the

  • Count the same value separately, then the count value is 7 (3+3+1)
  • If you count the same value as 1, then the count value is 6 (A, B, C, X, Y, Z).

will be used as a result.

Field to set the result (optional)

Specify if you want to set the result of a calculation to another field. You can omit it it if you do not want to set the result directly to the field, but you want to use the result in another action.
