I have a field in my list called "Choice". When completing the form, the user can pick from one to a number of choices.
In a workflow, what I need to do is get a summary count for each Choice in the list.
Any easy ways to do this?
I had two thoughts on how to do this and both seem ugly.
1. Maintain two collections. One a list of unique Choices. The section collection would be the total for a particular choice.
2. Create a temporary list of the Choice and a column for the total for that Choice.
Are you trying to get the count of the selected choices using a list workflow. You can get the choice field to a collection variable and use collection operation to get the count of the choices.
Thanks. If I understand you correctly, that would give me the total amount of choices which I know how to do. What I need is a total of each unique choice.
Say my list looks like this:
A
C
A
B
B
My totals would be
A = 2
B=2
C=1
I ended up solving this myself and it was not too bad. What I really needed to do was to create a summary table as part of a CSV file. Here is how I did it.
First I queried my choice list in order of choice. I looped through the collection and counted the choices till the choice changed. When the choice changed, I logged the total in my CSV file, reset the counter and started all over.
