Notion Formulas just added a new count() method.

This makes it much simpler to count items in a database compared to the old way, where you had to use filter().length(). The new method accepts the current context, so you can write shorter, clearer formulas.

To use it, just call count() on your list.

For example, instead of writing deals.filter(current.Status == "lost").length(), you can now write deals.count(current.Status == "lost"). This works for counting tasks, items, or anything else in your database, and helps keep your formulas clean and easy to manage.
