#table returns zero even though there are items inside

I need to know, how does this table when asked the length of,

{["ItemID"] = 1}

return 0?

Also here is more completed code if you want ig

for i,v in pairs(returneddata[tostring(player.UserId)]["InventoryData"]) do
		if #v > 0 then
			if i > #returneddata[tostring(player.UserId)]["InventoryData"] - 3 then
				local newitemUI = game.ReplicatedStorage.Game.UIComponents.InventoryTemplate:Clone()
				newitemUI.Name = itemdataModule[v["ItemID"]]["Name"]
				newitemUI.Itemicon.Image = itemdataModule[v["ItemID"]]["Icon"]
				newitemUI.Parent = gui.Container
			else
				local newitemUI = game.ReplicatedStorage.Game.UIComponents.InventoryTemplate:Clone()
				newitemUI.Name = itemdataModule[v["ItemID"]]["Name"]
				newitemUI.Itemicon.Image = itemdataModule[v["ItemID"]]["Icon"]
				newitemUI.Parent = gui.Inventory.Container
			end
		else
			continue
		end
	end
end

any help is appreciated!

Unfortunately dictionaries don’t have “numerical indices,” therefore the length of one cannot be determined. You’ll have to loop through the dictionary and increment a variable as a count.
Same issue someone else had (with solutions)

I tried it, and it works!
Weird how they don’t count dictionaries, but atleast it works now! thanks!
