Examples:

Return the count of three rows: 1, 6, and 8:

Count(row[1], row[6], row[8])

Return the count of 3 columns:

Calculate the count of two columns located on different grids:

Count( grid1.column[E], grid2.column[E])

Calculate the count of the cell located at row 4, column D:

Count(cell[D,4])

Calculate the count of aggregate row 3 in grid 5:

Count(grid5.row[3])
