Counting tasks due

[Smiley]

Hi

 i want to be able to count the rows in a portal which meet a certain criteria.

It is a portal of tasks assigned to an employee. One of the fields in the portal are the tasks status i.e. Overdue , Due , Outstanding or completed.

I want to display on the opening page the amount of tasks that are due .

i managed to get the total of all tasks by using the foundcount function but unable to split it down this function down further by adding another rule.

i would appreciate ones help, thanks.

Here's one way:

ValueCount ( FilterValues ( List ( Tasks::Status ) ; "Due" ) )

Another way is to use a summary field (defined in the Tasks table) and place it inside a filtered one-row portal.
