IF node to count items in Extract from CSV JSON Output

Note: There are 11 items

@jayalfiep , there could be a few ways to do it. Here’s just one of them. If that does not suit you, explain why, and I could offer other ways. This solution is based on the usage of Summary node in the aggregation mode “Count”.
