Is there a way to count the number of attachments in a row?
![Xochitl C.](https://us.v-cdn.net/6031209/uploads/userpics/9PIXLK7DKMRF/nN3GDWF9TCYV4.jpg)
Hi there,
I wonder if there is a way to count with a formula the number of attachments in every row. To give more context, I have created a form to submit excel documents every day by my team, so every entry/row may have more than 1 attachment and I'm trying to measure their productivity and progress every day. I also have included 2 system columns (created by and created date)
Any insight is much appreciated!

Hi @Xochitl C.
I hope you're well and safe!
You could add a field in the form where they have to select the number of attachments.
Also, you can add a workflow that counts each time an attachment is added to the row, but it can't count the number of attachments added on one occasion.
Make sense?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Andrée Starå thanks for your insights! Initially I tried adding the column/field for the number of attachments, but sometimes they get the number wrong. I will submit the enhancement request. Thanks for your help!
