Counting Problem

[dalahasten]

I have a question about some (for me) difficult calculation.

I have a table with Events. Every Event can have several participants (own table). The event has a limit of how many participants it can have. Every participant has a status, which can be "allowed" or "not allowed" (which is choosen from a valuelist). My question is, how can I count how many of the participants that have the status = "allowed"?

There are several ways to do this, but the best way depends on where you need to use it. Is it just for a report? Is it needed in the context of the Participant table or the Event table?

I need it in the Event table to be able to calculate if there is any places left (so that the limit for the event isn't yet reached)

I don't quite get the Allowed/Not Allowed terminology, but this is how you would add a count of "Allowed" in Event:

In Event, define fields:

gAllowed (global, text) enter "Allowed" into field

Count_Allowed (calculation, number) = Count(Participant by Allowed::Participant ID)

Add a table occurance of Participant, called Participant by Allowed:

Event::Event ID = Participant::Event ID and

Event::gAllowed = Participant::Status
