# COUNT

The *COUNT* function returns the number of values in a list by counting the values provided in the arguments. It accepts numeric values or node references and is commonly used to determine the size of a dataset or the number of entries in a range.

#### Syntax

```javascript
COUNT(value1, value2, ...)
```

#### Arguments

* `value1, value2, ...`: A list of values or node references to count.

#### Return value

Returns the count of values in the list.

#### Example

```javascript
COUNT(FILTERIF([2024 Actuals, 2025 Actuals, 2026 Actuals], ">0"))
```

In this example, the COUNT function returns the count of values greater than 0 in *2024 Actuals*, *2025 Actuals*, and *2026 Actuals*.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fabricplan.com/documentation/plan/planning-sheets/formula-syntax/math-functions/count.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
