Create a Table With Data From Other Tables

Hey guys,

 

I currently have 3 tables with different data.

 

I need a new table, with two columns, where data is displayed like this:

 

             Column 1            | Column 2

Row 1 | Name of table1* | Number of rows on table 1

Row 2 | Name of table2* | Number of rows on table 2

Row 3 | Name of table3* | Number of wors on table 3

 

* manually inserted

How could I create this table using formulas in order to update the values when I update the data?

If you only have 3 tables, I would create a new table as below.

 

 

 New_table =
VAR TABLE1 = "TABLE1"
VAR TABLE1_COUNT = COUNTROWS('Table1')
VAR TABLE2 = "TABLE2"
VAR TABLE2_COUNT = COUNTROWS('Table2')
VAR TABLE3 = "TABLE3"
VAR TABLE3_COUNT = COUNTROWS('Table3')
RETURN UNION(ROW("Table_Name",TABLE1,"Row_Count",TABLE1_COUNT),
ROW("Table_Name",TABLE2,"Row_Count",TABLE2_COUNT)
ROW("Table_Name",TABLE3,"Row_Count",TABLE3_COUNT))

 

If this helps, Mark it as a solution.

Kudos are nice too.

@VasTg thanks, it looks like it is exactly what I need.

 

But where should I enter this code?

"Enter Data"?

"New Source" ...?

@BIGedem See the attachment.

 

Ignore the error as I don't have table2 and 3 in my test.
