Ever needed a quick count of how many tasks are in a specific stage of your workflow? This walkthrough shows you how to use conditional formatting to automatically total cards, and their metadata, directly within your Lucidchart tables. For full formulas information, please refer to this documentation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to use shape types and formulas to isolate specific rows or columns for targeted calculations.
- How to use the
contentsattribute to count the total number of cards within a table cell. - How to sum up specific properties from external data, such as Jira story points, across a dynamic range.
- How to customize text badges and hover text to display these live calculations without cluttering your diagram.
⚙️ A note on the UI
This video was produced around 2024. While the Lucid interface has been refreshed since then, the logic for referencing table contents and the formula syntax for summarizing data remain fully operational.
