Good day people I would like to ask some help. I have a gallery that filters a folder (logistics) in a sharepoint Library. Inside Logistics are four more subfolder. Subfolder 1,2,3, and 4 each subfolder contains multiple files, how do I count the number of files in each subfolder and display it beside the subfolders? Thank you for your help.

Hi @jan_mac ,

I done a test on my side, you can refer to my steps.

Here is my library called library1 with two folders:

Inside folder Logistics, there are four subfolders(folder sub1 has one file, folder sub2 has 2 files, folder sub3 has 3 files and folder sub4 has 4 files):

In my app, I have a Gallery that displays all subfolders inside folder Logistics:

Filter(library1,IsFolder = true &&'Folder path'="library1/Logistics/")

In this gallery, beside each subfloder, there is a label to show the file count of each subfolder:

CountRows(Filter(library1,'Folder path'="library1/Logistics" &"/"& ThisItem.Name &"/"))

Best regards,

Allen

Thank you so much!! You even put the effort of creating a Sharepoint library and named the folders same to mine. Many blessings to you and your family! 😊

Hi @v-albai-msft,
I cant seem to apply these code to my gallery. Instead of showing the numbers of file, it shows number of folder.
Using the below return null value instead.
CountRows(Filter(Documents, !IsFolder = true && 'Folder path'="Shared Documents/Test1/"))

Is there any work around for this? I've running out of brain power trying to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Try adding "& ThisItem.NameOfColumn" at the end of the formula.

This is a fine solution but non delegable so, don't use it if your document library has more than 500 items (or 2000 if you don't mind your app to run slow).
