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.
