Setting a variable to count the number of records that meet a criteria

Posted on by peter5164

I am wanting to set a variable (trncount) that counts the number of records that have a particular text the same as that in my dropdown box. Can you help me with the syntax? It keeps telling me that I am trying to compare a table to a record.

Set(trncount,CountIf(Training, Training.Description = Dropdown4.SelectedText))

Any help much appreciated

You should remove the table name in the second parameter like this:
Set(trncount,CountIf(Training, Description = Dropdown4.SelectedText))

No, it still comes up with the same error. I actually had it that way before and changed it trying to fix it. But I worked it out. It seems I needed to create a collection (colTrain) and apply the formula to that,

ClearCollect(colTrain,Training);Set(trncount,CountIf(colTrain, Description = Dropdown4.SelectedText.Value))
Thanks for your help
