Is it possible to have the Info label show a distinct count instead of total entries

puffster

My incoming data looks something like this:

Student 1 Data 1
Student 2 Data 1
Student 2 Data 2
Student 2 Data 3
Student 3 Data 1
Student 4 Data 1
Student 4 Data 2

I'd like for the Info label to display the number of distinct students ("Showing 4 Students") instead of the total number of entries ("Showing 1 to 7 of 7 entries"). Is this possible?

I've looked at language.info but it doesn't appear to do exactly what I'm wanting it to...

Yep, language.info is the built-in way of doing it. Otherwise, you can just edit the text directly in draw - http://live.datatables.net/gidafiki/1/edit

Thank you! I did not realize you could use local variables...I should have though!!
