How to use SAFARITABCOUNT() function

Not everyone on the forum is advanced... :sunglasses:

Yes – it can be embarrassing to ask newbie questions, ignorant questions, or especially – dumb questions.

I've asked some doozies online going waay back to various BBSes and CompuServe – and of course IRL more than a few times.

It's much better to ask a potentially embarrassing question than to waste hours of time.

On the other hand – it's preferable to not ask dumb questions... (I rate a dumb question as one someone spent no time at all trying to figure out for themselves.)

I rigorously avoid asking dumb questions – so even when I'm feeling fuzzy or lazy I'll force myself to spend some time researching – even if it's only a few minutes. Sometimes I hit pay-dirt way faster than I thought I would – sometimes not.

When I'm looking for something I tend to follow this progression…
  1. Search using the Search Field of the Keyboard Maestro Editor's Help Menu.
  2. Search using Insert Action by Name (searchable dialog).
  3. Search using Insert Function by Name (searchable dialog).
  4. Search using Insert Token by Name (searchable dialog).
  5. Search the Keyboard Maestro Wiki.
    • Partly automated by me using KM.
  6. Search the Keyboard Maestro Forum
    • Using the Forum's built-in search.
    • Using a Google site-search (syntax).
  • (Of course this system can vary significantly when I already have some idea of what I'm looking for and where to look for it.)

There's too much dain brammage in the world already, so ask for help when you need it!

As @Nige_S says: "When the swearing starts, stop – and post in the Forum."
