Workflow to count the number of items in a list

Hello Friends,
I've a requirement, I need to count the number documents uploaded for a particular list item (identified by a unique Title) and if the count matches with the count stored in another list for that particular list item, bingo......I will update the status
field to completed.
Can anybody please help me with this. How do I do this ? Is it possible even ?
Thank you very much in advance. :)

Hi,
I haven't tried this but i think you can achieve it by
1. Add an Call HTTP activity in your workflow and make a REST call get items
2. Use Count Items in (Dictionary variable)to get the Items counts of attachment.
3. Then, lookup for your another list in match item count.
Your REST query can be similar to this

How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

Hi,
I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
- Sen.

1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).

Error: List View Threshold. The number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 5000 items.

Hi, i had created a SharePoint List in cloud ( office 365) using List Template.
List template contains 12000 items taken as template from SharePoint on Premise.
I am getting this error message, in SharePoint Online (Office 365)
The number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 5000 items. Tasks that cause excessive server load (such as those involving all list items) are currently prohibited.
How to resolve it, to get data in my SharePoint list, any help will be appreciated.

With O365 lists over 5k items are now officially supported but they will have limited behaviour due to the threshold. There are no workarounds or options to increase the threshold either temporarily, for specific users or for the list itself as you have
with on-prem.
You'll need to remove enough items to get it below the threshold limit, add indexed columns to support indexed views, then re-add the items again. This article is for 2010 but the section around indexed columns and views is still accurate:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262813(v=office.14).aspx
It may be possible to add the indexes on your on-prem list where you can increase/avoid the threshold, then re-export the list. That would rely upon the list creation script adding indexes before it uploads items but it's a logical assumption.

Need to count the number of groups in a Crystal Reports 2008 report

I have created a report with three levels of grouping. There are several items in each level. I want to count the number of groups. I have tried countdistinct but it counts the number of items in the lowest level of grouping and I want the number of items in the higher levels. This is a distribution data base. I have the data grouped by date, by truck on each date, and by "run" or load on each truck on each date. I want to count the total number of groups of truck and run, which is the second level of the grouping. Any ideas? I am fairly new to Crystal.

Hi Debbie,
     To count the number of groups please try the folling steps:
1) Create a formula @reset and place this formula in the page header
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:=0;
2) Create another formula @evalgroup place this in the group header where you want to count the values.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i:= i+1;
3) Create another formula @display and place this in report footer.
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar i;
In order to display the count of details which are printing in the detail section place the eval formula in the detail section and the @display formula in the group footer.
Hope this helps!!!

How can I count the number of unique cells?

I have a column in my spreadsheet that looks like this:
Date
Items
3/25
Item A
3/27
Item A
3/29
Item A
3/25
Item A
4/25
Item B
6/1
Item B
7/13
Item B
8/9
Item B
3/5
Item C
1/2
Item C
5/15
Item D
3/25
Item D
What I want is something that will list all the unique items that I have and count the number of times that Item shows up in my spreadsheet. For example, the results should look like this:
Item A: 3
Item B: 4
Item C: 2
Item D: 2
I thought for sure that I can do a chart in numbers and it would count the number of items but no, not so much.

I apologize. When I pasted the table in Numbers running in French the values of column B were treated as dates.
I leave the screenshot untouched because the contents of this column changes nothing to the calculations.
In cell D2 of the main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK(C),0,IF(COUNTIF($C$2:$C2,"="&$C2)=1,COUNTIF(C,"="&$C2)+(ROWS(A)-ROW( ))/100000,0))
Apply Fill Down
In cell A2 of table aux, the formula is :
=IFERROR(LARGE(main :: D,ROW()-1),"")
In cell B2 of table aux, the formula is :
=IF(A>0,LOOKUP(A2,main :: D,main :: C),"")
In cell C2 of table aux, the formula is :
=INT(A)
Apply Fill Down

Dynamic Counter in BEx Report to count the drilldown line item.

Hi,
I have a requirement to show the count of different parts in a report. For example the report,
Part Number            Costs
100                    200 $
and if you drill down from the part number to line item details, you will get,
Item Number            Costs
10                      50 $
20                      50 $
30                      50 $
40                      50 $
So basically Part Number 100 is consists of 4 Item numbers. Now I want to show original report like this,
Part Number            Costs               Counter
100                    200 $               4
Is there any way I can catch that counter, like how many line item is there per Part Number ?
I am thinking of 2 ways, Virtual key Figure to calculate this or in alternate if possible use the Classification extractor (not sure if it possible to count the number of items per classification extractor though).
Is there any better or simpler way to deal this without changing the cube structure ?
Thanks for your time spent on this,
Kind Regards,
Arpan

Hi,
You can get this functionality with Virtual Key figures.
You will have the complete dataset in the RSR00002 Enhancement in CMOD.

Error :cannot show the value of the filter.The Field may not be filterable or the number of items returned exceeds the list view threshold enforced by administrator

Issue : In sharepoint 2013, I am experiening below error while using filter in the list view due to the number of items in this list exceeds the list view threshold, which is 10000 items. Tasks that cause excessive server load (such as those
involving all list items) are currently prohibited.
Error :cannot show the value of the filter.The Field may not be filterable or the number of items returned exceeds the list view threshold enforced by administrator
Could you please suggest a way to avoid this issue apart from incrementing the list view threshold limit .

Reorganizing content, or creating more specific views. sharepoint is warning you that the content is structured in such a way that it can cause performance issues, which should be addressed in some way.

Counting the number of characters entered into a page item

Is there a way to count the number of characters that are entered into a page item. I've got a field that can contain up to 20 characters. If 20 are entered I can do a = on my search, if less than that, then I have to do a wildcard search. I currently do a substr on the field to see if position 21 is null and position 20 is not null, then I have a 20 character field. Is there a more efficient way to do this and also is there a way to actually show the character count as the page item is being populated

Hello user8014695 (name please),
Try coding the select for your search as
select ...
from some_table
where some_field like case when length(trim(:YOUR_ITEM)) = 20 then :YOUR_ITEM else :YOUR_ITEM || '%' end
Note - I included the trim() assuming blank characters before or after shouldn't count.
To show the character count as the item is being keyed-in, Google "javascript character count" for lots of ways to do this. To work these solutions into ApEx, check the ApEx help/documentation for incorporating JavaScript into your application - specifically the references on accessing page items using JavaScript.
Hope this helps,

Count the number of a certain document type in a document-set

The Content types allowed in my Document-Set are document type A and document type B. How can I count the number of document type A in the document-set with workflows? I need to know if there is at least one document of type A inside the
document-set. With “Item child count” condition in workflows I can only count the total number of the documents and not the number of specific document type.

Hi pax123,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to count the number od the documents based on Content Types.
As a workaround, you can create two columns to store the count of documents for your two content types. Then create a loop action to loop all documents, if content type is equal to your content type A, do a calculate to plus 1 to the numberA, then update
the column numberA. Do a same if condition in the loop for your content type B.

How do I get FCP to count the number of cuts in my sequence?

Can anyone help me with this? Is there a command or short cut to getting FCP to count the number of cuts in my sequence? I've edited together a 75 minute film, and I need to find out how many cuts there are in it, and short of doing it manually (which would take forever), I'm at a loss for a solution. Thanks so much!
Best,
Marianne

Hi there,
Thanks for the answer. I did that, but a couple of master clips showed up in the bin, that I wasn't using in the movie. Not at a lot, maybe 10-20 out of almost a 1000. Then I found a better way. I pasted the whole film into a new sequence, removed all sound and text, so it left only the video clips, and I also tried as much as possible to group all the clips on the V1 track of the timeline, and then I selected show item properties (with the whole sequence highlighted) and FCP shows a warning to the effect: "Can only show the first 100 clips out of ???, in my case it was 963.

I can print out the amount of tokens from each line,
But i only want the first line to be counted, And i
also do not want the delimeters to be counted.
could you please give me some ideas?
Thanks
try

   while((str=br.readLine())!= null)
      itemslist.add(str);
catch(IOException ioe)
   System.out.println("Exception Occurred!!!");
}This snippet gets one Line from the item.kr file.
Then i would count (By useing a diffrent String Tokenizer) to count only this line!!!

Count the number of values selected in a form

Hello
I need to count the number of values selected in a form.
Here is my form dump:
I want to count the values circled in red.
So the number I want in this case is 5.
Any suggestions?

Aegis,
Yeah, good point. Here is a minor tweak:
<cfset total = 0>
<cfloop collection="#FORM#" item="field">
     <cfif field NOT IS "fieldnames">
       <cfset total += ListLen( FORM[ field ] )>
     </cfif>

How can I view the number of items I have in a folder on Mac 10.9.2 (Mavericks)?

I have only been using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks) for a little while so I'm having to deal with many inconveniences that I didn't have to face with Mac OS X 10.6.3 (Snow Leopard). It's frustrating that 10.9.2 (Mavericks) doesn't let me tap twice on the trackpad in order move or drag something, but at least I figured out how to do this in a different way. One part that I cannot figure out is how to view the number of files in each folder. With Snow Leopard, I was able to view the number of files on that folder automatically by looking at the bottom of the folder (*See the example on the photo). On the bottom of that folder, you will see the number of items, which it 10. Every time I add new files (or folders within that folder), it will update the number of items to the appropriate number. This is especially useful to me if I'm going to have many items within a folder and when I need to make sure that the number I have is exact. For example, sometimes I have to save files in a precise number and order. If I miss saving a file with a specific number, and I don't catch that the number of items is off as early as possible, I may have to waste time looking through files to try to figure out what is missing. For this reason, I have to find a convenient way to view the number of items in each folder with Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks) or else using it will be a hassle.
Now that I'm using Mac OS X 10.9.2 (Mavericks), I don't see any information on the folder that tells me how many items are in it (*See photo below). I keep looking to see if it's located somewhere else on the folder or if I can change the folder preferences to make it become visible. I also clicked on the folder and on "Get Info" (which would be inconvenient if I had to do this constantly). This showed me the number of items in that folder but I can't always keep checking like this because it's time-consuming and distractive.
I need to find a way to make the number of items appear on the folder itself, while it is open.
Do you know a convenient way to view the number of items in a folder?
Is there some way I can change the preferences so that the number becomes visible on the folder itself?

Open the Finder's View menu and choose 'Show Status Bar'.
