Reference

count

Type

Conditional Statistical Operator

Purpose

The count operator counts the number of records in the table being processed. It can also be used to count the number of times a condition specified by a comparison of two values is true. The result usually appears as a statistic in the summary area at the end of a report or group.

Syntax

CONDITION : count [other statistical operators];|.

Usage

To count all the records that meet a specified condition, enter :count after the condition as shown in Example 1. . When applied to a field, it counts how many times that field has a value. To count all the records processed by a script, use a statement that is true for every record, such as "A" = "A". This method is shown in Example 2.

Example 1

for MEMBERS with STATE = "NJ" ;

list records

LAST NAME in order ;

TOTAL DUE ;

TOTAL DUE > 40 : count .

end

 

This script tells DataEase: (1) List the MEMBERS records showing each member's LAST NAME and TOTAL DUE, and (2) count the number of members who have an TOTAL DUE greater than $40. The output from this script might look as follows:

 

 

Last Name

Total Due

Beauchamp

35.00

Carley

50.00

Fairchild

50.00

Giovanelli

70.00

Morrison

100.00

Parker

105.00

Count (> 40): 5

 

Example 2

for MEMBERS with STATE = "NJ" and TOTAL DUE > 40 ;

list records

LAST NAME in order ;

TOTAL DUE ;

"A" = "A" : count .

end

 

Example 2 produces output identical to Example 1, except that Beauchamp is omitted because her TOTAL DUE is less than $40. The count statistic is again 5, but in this case it represents all the records that are processed (because all records processed satisfy the count condition).
