Hi all,

Sorry for this dummy question, but…

I checked everywhere and, when I want to get selected row number, I can use `.getSelectedRowCount()`.

Please, could someone tell me whats wrong here?

Based on the error, it seems like `getSelectedRowCount` is being called on something other than a Table component. Are you certain the name of the table you’re trying to access is `Tbl_Employess`?

For debugging, I’d recommend printing both the component you’re getting and it’s full type (literally just `print type(someVariable)`

A power table does not have the `getSelectedRowCount()` function, which is probably what you are using.

[Vision - Power Table - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation (inductiveautomation.com)](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Vision+-+Power+Table)

For power tables, do this instead

```auto
a = len(event.source.parent.getComponent('Tbl_Employees').getSelectedRows())

```

Also, I just noticed a probable typo, you have `Tbl_Employess` instead of `Tbl_Employees`
