# Get Count Of Columns

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Grid Element** from the **SAP GUI Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to retrieve the total number of columns present in the Grid and save the result in the dynamic variable.

### Syntax 

**Input Value:** `N/A`

| Argument | Description     |
| -------- | --------------- |
| N/A      | No input needed |

**Output Value** 

| Argument                      | Description                                                      |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Required) | This variable holds the fetched column count                     |
| \<Dynamic Variable>(Optional) | This dynamic variable holds the status as **True** or **False**. |

**Example**&#x20;

**Retrieves the total number of columns from the captured (SAP Grid) grid**

The **GetCountOfColumns** action does not require any value from the Input Value column. It automatically fetches the number of columns **(e.g., 10)** from the captured grid **(SAP Grid)**. The retrieved column count is stored in the **{Column Count}** variable.
