Do you have a set amount of rows and cells per column?

its 6x2 (6 rows * 2 columns)ā€¦

I believe this should work unless I misunderstood you. :+1:

local NilCounter = 0

for i,v in ipairs(YourRowTableHere) do
	for i = 1, 2 do
		if YourRowTableHere[i] == nil then
			NilCounter = NilCounter + 1
		end
	end
end

print(NilCounter)

Ok so for is only way (or easiest)? :sad:

As far as Iā€™m aware that is the only way to do it.

And also i need to do it separatly for column 1 and 2, but for that i need only to set up 2 nil counters and replace the second for by 2 if

Do you have your table set up in a fashion similar to the following?

local Table = {{1,2,3,4,5,6}, {1,2,3,4,5,6}}

no, i have columns in rows (as in html, i define table for each row and put columns into it)

Currently there is no method that can count a value in a table.

If you have to do it multiple times, I suggest you using a function, so you will have that long code once at top, and can search a value in a table with only one line of code.
