How to input a sum of selected objects in a table?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone knows is it possible to input a formula in AutoCad table that will count a selected (by type or a layer) objects?

I need to manually _selectall specific objects and than manually input shown in a properties number into a table cell.

How can I ease this process?

Thank you in advance!

Yes, that looks pretty close to what i'm looking for.

But will the number in the table change if I add or delete a new object?

AFAIK it's not a live connection: if you want that, look into DATAEXTRACTION in HELP (your blocks will need to contain an attribute for tracking).
