# of Associated Contacts (or Deals) for Custom Objects

[Caroline_Pretty]

In a follow-up here, this method has updated slightly with some HubSpot updates since this solution in 2022. Instead of a calculation property, count is now an option under the Rollup field type.

So a slight adjustment here:

1. Go to your custom and hit the button “create property”
2. Instead of calculation as the field type, select “Rollup” as the field type
3. Then select “Count” as the Rollup type
4. Choose Number format (I prefer Unformatted)
5. Choose the associated record type of “Contact”
6. Choose association labels (likely default to “All association labels” if you have a singular, standard association setting fo the custom object
7. Choose the associated record property of “Create Date”
8. (optional to add contisional settings but not required.
9. Click save

Thanks!
