Add the example script to your app and run it. Then add, at least, the fields listed in the results column to a sheet in your app to see the result. RangeTab3: LOAD recno() as RangeID, RangeCount(Field1,Field2,Field3) as MyRangeCount INLINE [ Field1, Field2, Field3 10,5,6 2,3,7 8,2,8 18,11,9 5,5,9 9,4,2 ]; |
