Calculated Value To Count Entries

Asked by walker8476 in MOSS-Sharepoint

Tags: , ,

I have an Issues Tracking page with a column called "Comments".  I want to create a column that will count the number of entries in the Comments column for each issue created. e.g

Title                                Created By             Created                      No. Comments

Laptop Problem                John Smith          12/5/2008                              1
HDD Problem                    Mary Jones         12/5/2008                              0
Need Software                  John Smith          12/5/2008                              1
Laptop Problem                John Smith          12/5/2008                              2

So when users create an issue they enter a Title and Description and leave the Comments area blank.  Then when someone adds a comment to that issue, the "No. Comments" column changes to 1. If another comment is added to that issue it goes to 2.  If there is no comment it stayes at 0.

Basically so users can tell if that issue has a comment in it without having to click on the actual issue.Start Free Trial
