Hello! Is there any way to calculate duplicate elements in an array in Glide?

Try the ‘Duplicated Items’ column type.

Thanks Jeff for your help!  
I’ve already tried it. The problem is that I have several duplicate elements in my array and I need to calculate the specific element and depending on its quantity trigger the next action.

So do you mean you have to take out all the duplicated elements, and how many times each of them appear?

Thank you ThinhDinh for your desire to help!  
This means that I’m only interested in specific elements and how many times each of them appears. All other duplicates don’t bother me.
