# RCOUNT (window)



#### Syntax {#syntax}

{% list tabs %}

- Standard

  ```
  RCOUNT( value [ , direction ] )
  ```

- Extended

  ```
  RCOUNT( value [ , direction ]
          [ TOTAL | WITHIN ... | AMONG ... ]
          [ ORDER BY ... ]
          [ BEFORE FILTER BY ... ]
        )
  ```

  More info:
  - [TOTAL, WITHIN, AMONG](window-functions.md#syntax-grouping)
  - [ORDER BY](window-functions.md#syntax-order-by)
  - [BEFORE FILTER BY](window-functions.md#syntax-before-filter-by)

{% endlist %}

#### Description {#description}

{% note warning %}

The sorting order is based on the fields listed in the sorting section of the chart and in the `ORDER BY` clause. First, `ORDER BY` fields are used, and then they are complemented by the fields from the chart.

{% endnote %}

Returns the count of all values in a growing (or shrinking) window defined by the sort order and the value of `direction`:

| `direction`   | Window                                                 |
|:--------------|:-------------------------------------------------------|
| `"asc"`       | Starts from the first row and ends at the current row. |
| `"desc"`      | Starts from the current row and ends at the last row.  |

By default `"asc"` is used.


Window functions with a similar behavior: [RSUM](RSUM.md), [RMIN](RMIN.md), [RMAX](RMAX.md), [RAVG](RAVG.md).

See also [COUNT](COUNT.md), [MCOUNT](MCOUNT.md).

**Argument types:**
- `value` — `Any`
- `direction` — `String`


**Return type**: `Integer`

{% note info %}

Only constant values are accepted for the arguments (`direction`).
