Hi,
is it possible to capture the amount of entries that have come in from a form? the form is constantly being populated so i am looking for a live number if possible?
Any help appreciated.
thank you Dave
Hi Dave,
Yes, it is. You can add a column (that you can hide) and a field on the form that you hide and set to a default value like submitted form or similar.
Edit. You can then use a count formula to get the total number.
Would that work?
Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi Andree,
thank you for taking the time to reply. I am not quite sure what you are suggesting?
What i need to do i provide an ongoing figure to my customers dashboard of how many entries have been made against a particular form?
So this number would be constantly updating, how would i add a constant count to then display on the dashboard?
Sorry probably being a bit slow and its probably easy
Thank you again for taking the time to reply

You could use the COUNT function to count all the cells that ain't empty and then show that on a dashboard with a metric widget.

i don't think it will unfortunately. i have set a field to give each entry a numeric value which shows me the amount of entries but i cant get the dashboard data to read the latest value.

Can you share the sheet, workspace or some screenshots so that I can get a better understanding of your set up?
Hi Andree
how do i share with you? more than happy to let you take a look, havent figured out how to get screen shots on here but happy to share.
You can share the sheet or workspace with me at andree@getdone.se
If there is sensitive information, you could share a copy instead.
Try this.
If I understand you correctly this is the formula that you should use in the cell for the count on the summary sheet.
The Anomolies Range 1 is for the Row ID column, and you need to select the reference in your sheet.
The formula will count all the cells that are not empty.
=COUNT({Anomolies Range 1})
Works perfectly,
Thank you for taking the time to have a look at this,
Hi all, I am trying to build out a formula that will return "True" if the CIF #@row can be found above it in the same column (CIF #) AND the Days Since Created is between 30 - 365 days. All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
