Parameters

This function has one parameter:

Description

The count( function counts all non-empty instances of a line item field in the current record. This is similar to the sum( function, but counts instead of adds.

This example computes the average of the Score line item fields, Score1, Score2, Score3, etc.

100*sum(ScoreΩ)/count(ScoreΩ)

This could also be written as:

100*sum("ScoreΩ")/count("ScoreΩ")

or

100*sum("Score")/count("Score")
