xarray.Dataset.count#

Dataset.count(dim=None, *, keep_attrs=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Reduce this Dataset’s data by applying count along some dimension(s).

Parameters
  • dim (str, Iterable of Hashable, "..." or None, default: None) – Name of dimension[s] along which to apply count. For e.g. dim="x" or dim=["x", "y"]. If “…” or None, will reduce over all dimensions.

  • keep_attrs (bool or None, optional) – If True, attrs will be copied from the original object to the new one. If False, the new object will be returned without attributes.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments passed on to the appropriate array function for calculating count on this object’s data. These could include dask-specific kwargs like split_every.

Returns

reduced (Dataset) – New Dataset with count applied to its data and the indicated dimension(s) removed
