# has_rows()

Check whether a table has a certain number of rows.

Usage

[Source](https://github.com/posit-dev/pointblank/blob/main/pointblank/inspect.py#L150-L326)

``` python
has_rows(
    count=None,
    *,
    min=None,
    max=None,
)
```

The [has_rows()](../reference/has_rows.md#pointblank.has_rows) function returns a callable that, when given a table, checks whether the row count satisfies a specified condition. It is designed for use with the `active=` parameter of validation methods so that a validation step can be conditionally skipped when the target table is too small, too large, or empty.

The callable supports several modes:

- **exact count**: `has_rows(count=N)` returns `True` only if the table has exactly `N` rows.
- **minimum**: `has_rows(min=N)` returns `True` if the table has at least `N` rows.
- **maximum**: `has_rows(max=N)` returns `True` if the table has at most `N` rows.
- **range**: `has_rows(min=A, max=B)` returns `True` if the row count falls within `[A, B]`.
- **non-empty**: [has_rows()](../reference/has_rows.md#pointblank.has_rows) (no arguments) returns `True` if the table has at least one row.

A note is attached to any skipped step in the validation report explaining the row count condition that was not met.

The callable is evaluated against the original table *before* any `pre=` processing is applied. This means the column check is performed on the raw input data, not on a pre-processed version of it.

## Parameters

`count: int | None = None`  
The exact number of rows the table should have. Cannot be used together with `min=` or `max=`.

`min: int | None = None`  
The minimum number of rows (inclusive) the table should have. Can be used alone or with `max=`.

`max: int | None = None`  
The maximum number of rows (inclusive) the table should have. Can be used alone or with `min=`.

## Returns

`Callable[[Any], bool]`  
A callable that accepts a table and returns `True` if the row count satisfies the specified condition, `False` otherwise. When the callable returns `False`, it stores diagnostic information that is used to generate a descriptive note in the validation report.

## How It Works

When [`interrogate()`](../reference/Validate.interrogate.md#pointblank.Validate.interrogate) is called, each validation step whose `active=` parameter is a callable will have that callable evaluated with the target table. If the callable returns `False`, the step is deactivated and an explanatory note is added to the validation report. The note is locale-aware: if the [`Validate`](../reference/Validate.md#pointblank.Validate) object was created with a non-English `locale=`, the note will be translated accordingly.

## Examples

Skip a validation step if the table is empty:

``` python
import pointblank as pb
import polars as pl

tbl = pl.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2, 3]})
empty_tbl = pl.DataFrame({"x": []})

validation = (
    pb.Validate(data=empty_tbl)
    .col_vals_gt(columns="x", value=0, active=pb.has_rows())
    .interrogate()
)

validation

The step was skipped because the table has only 3 rows, which is fewer than the required minimum of `100`.

You can also check for an exact count or a range:

``` python
validation = (
    pb.Validate(data=tbl)
    .col_vals_gt(columns="x", value=0, active=pb.has_rows(count=3))
    .col_vals_gt(columns="x", value=0, active=pb.has_rows(min=2, max=10))
    .col_vals_gt(columns="x", value=0, active=pb.has_rows(count=100))
    .interrogate()
)

validation
```

[TABLE]

The first two steps ran because the table has exactly 3 rows (matching `count=3`) and falls within the range `[2, 10]`. The third step was skipped because `3` does not equal `100`.
