### Description

The Row Count node evaluates the number of rows in the incoming dataset and determines whether the dataflow should continue when the number of rows exactly matches the configured value

### Configuration Options

<table><thead><tr><th width="187">Setting</th><th width="145">Required</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Rows</strong></td><td>Yes</td><td>The exact number of rows the input dataset must contain</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

### Usage

The Row Count node is used to stop the dataflow when the incoming dataset does not contain the expected number of rows.

If the row count matches the configured value, the dataflow continues.\
If the row count does not match, the dataflow is stopped.
