Getting the Count of same entries of data

alvinmactal

hi! how can I get the count of same data in the datatable?
for example,

There are 10 students in the table with attributes as Name, Age , Year, Birthdate, Section
And I want to get the total number of ages like 10, 12, 13 in a section.

Basically I want to get the summary of specific field after filtering.

Thank you in advance

What you'd need to do is use rows().data() to get the data for the rows and then loop over them, "binning" the data - i.e. if age === 10, totalAges[10]++; etc.
