Glossary

Aggregate functions

ILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 21

Examples

The Accounts layout has a portal showing installment payments made.

Count(Payments::Payment) returns the number of payments made on an account.

In the following examples:

• Field1 contains two repetitions with values of 1 and 2.

• Field2 contains four repetitions with values of 5, 6, 7, and 8.

• Field3 contains 6.

Count(Field2) returns 4 when the calculation isn’t a repeating field.

Count(Field1;Field2;Field3) returns 3, 2, 1, 1 when the calculation is a repeating field.

Note When a referenced field is a repeating field, the Count function returns the total number of

valid, non-blank values in the first repetition field, then the number of valid, non-blank values in the

second repetition field, and so on.
