Hi,

Is it also possible to only get the number of element in a specific region of a column? Like the number of elements in column A in rows 10 to 100.

Hi RedAndWhite,

Is the number of elements equivalent to the size of your data selection?
If so, you may define your data selection as a range and get its size.

For example:

//Define your specific region as a range variable
range rr=col(1)[10:100];
//x is the range size
int x=rr.GetSize();
x=;

Of course Kathy's example can be simplified to
100 - 10 + 1 = 91

But there are nuances to your question ..
If you mean you want the number of cells with text, then this will do the job:
range ra = col(2);
count = 0;
start = 10;
end = 100;
loop(ii,start,end)
{
if(ra[ii]$!="--") count++;
}
count=;

You can use the discfreqs X-Function to get a unique list of values.
