I'm currently part of a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions support organisations with everything from targeted technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM implementations and long-term platform adoption. Working as a team rather than a one-person consultancy allows projects to move forward consistently, with access to the right skills at each stage.

The team I manage specialises in API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance and commerce platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay. Much of our work involves solving integration challenges that fall outside standard documentation, supporting new ideas, new sectors, and evolving business models.

Success is measured through practical outcomes and return on investment, ranging from scaling small operations into high-turnover businesses to delivering rapid gains through online payments, automation, and streamlined digital workflows.

Zoho Deluge - Counting in a Map dataType

What?
A quick article on how to count within a map. I didn't have too much difficulty getting this to work and I'm not sure if there are better ways of counting so I'm documenting it to see if I can refine the code or find a some short codes that will do the same.

Why?
I'm aiming to automate a process which counts the number of products allocated to an account or in total for a purchase order. Let us assume we have the following in a form/report called "Stock_Upload":
copyraw 
RowID	Name	            SKU	        Account Email	
0001	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0002	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0003	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0004	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0005	Test Product 2	    TEST002	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0006	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.	
0007	Test Product 1	    TEST001	    This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
  1.  RowID    Name                SKU            Account Email 
  2.  0001    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  3.  0002    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  4.  0003    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  5.  0004    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  6.  0005    Test Product 2        TEST002        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  7.  0006    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
  8.  0007    Test Product 1        TEST001        This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 
The code is a for loop which iterates through each row, assigning an entry for a new product or account, and specifying the quantity for each.

How?
So depending on the number of levels, the count will be with a series if then else statements. See the results/yield section to determine which best fits your scenario:

Counting total products:
copyraw 
//  
// count total products for availability
m_ProductCount = Map();
for each  r_StockRecord in Stock_Upload[ID != 0]
{
    if(m_ProductCount.get(v_SKU) == null)
    {
        m_ProductCount.put(v_SKU,1);
    }
    else
    {
        v_PreviousValue = m_ProductCount.get(v_SKU);
        m_ProductCount.put(v_SKU,v_PreviousValue + 1);
    }	
}
  1.  // 
  2.  // count total products for availability 
  3.  m_ProductCount = Map(); 
  4.  for each  r_StockRecord in Stock_Upload[ID != 0] 
  5.  { 
  6.      if(m_ProductCount.get(v_SKU) == null) 
  7.      { 
  8.          m_ProductCount.put(v_SKU,1); 
  9.      } 
  10.      else 
  11.      { 
  12.          v_PreviousValue = m_ProductCount.get(v_SKU); 
  13.          m_ProductCount.put(v_SKU,v_PreviousValue + 1); 
  14.      } 
  15.  } 
info m_ProductCount Yields:
copyraw 
{
  "TEST001": 6,
  "TEST002": 1
}
  1.  { 
  2.    "TEST001": 6, 
  3.    "TEST002": 1 
  4.  } 

Counting total products per account:
copyraw 
//  
// count total products per account
m_Accounts = Map();
m_Products = Map();
//  
// loop through each row
for each  r_StockRecord in Stock_Upload[ID != 0]
{
    //  
    // create map entry for account
    if(m_Accounts.get(v_Email) == null)
    {
        m_Products.put(v_SKU,0);
        m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products);
    }
    //  
    // set product count for account
    if(m_Accounts.get(v_Email).get(v_SKU) == null)
    {
        m_Products = m_Accounts.get(v_Email);
        m_Products.put(v_SKU,1);
        m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products);
    }
    else
    {
        v_PreviousValue = m_Accounts.get(v_Email).get(v_SKU);
        m_Products = m_Accounts.get(v_Email);
        m_Products.put(v_SKU,v_PreviousValue + 1);
        m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products);
    }
}
  1.  // 
  2.  // count total products per account 
  3.  m_Accounts = Map(); 
  4.  m_Products = Map(); 
  5.  // 
  6.  // loop through each row 
  7.  for each  r_StockRecord in Stock_Upload[ID != 0] 
  8.  { 
  9.      // 
  10.      // create map entry for account 
  11.      if(m_Accounts.get(v_Email) == null) 
  12.      { 
  13.          m_Products.put(v_SKU,0); 
  14.          m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products); 
  15.      } 
  16.      // 
  17.      // set product count for account 
  18.      if(m_Accounts.get(v_Email).get(v_SKU) == null) 
  19.      { 
  20.          m_Products = m_Accounts.get(v_Email); 
  21.          m_Products.put(v_SKU,1); 
  22.          m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products); 
  23.      } 
  24.      else 
  25.      { 
  26.          v_PreviousValue = m_Accounts.get(v_Email).get(v_SKU); 
  27.          m_Products = m_Accounts.get(v_Email); 
  28.          m_Products.put(v_SKU,v_PreviousValue + 1); 
  29.          m_Accounts.put(v_Email,m_Products); 
  30.      } 
  31.  } 
info m_Accounts Yields:
