Computed fields

[edit]

Total Congregations

[edit]

This is the sum of wards and branches in the state. This only displays when both ward and branch fields are greater than zero. This does not include "member groups" which are typically smaller, more temporary, and its data is not well published.

Temples

[edit]

This lists operating temples, as well as those that have been announced or are currently under construction. The definitions of these three categories are shown in the table above. Conditions of use are as follows:

  • If neither the "o", "u", and "a" fields are above zero, then the temple line will not show.
  • If only the "o" field (operating temples) is listed above zero, then the output value will simply be a number equal to the "o" field.
  • If only the "u" field (temples under construction) is listed above zero, than the output value will be a number equal to the "u" field with the words "under construction" next to it.
  • If only the "a" field (announced temples) is listed above zero, than the output value will be a number equal to the "a" field with the word "announced" next to it.
  • If multiple "o", "u", or "a" fields are listed above zero, then all fields with values of "o", "u", and/or "a" that are above zero will be listed with their respective label "operating", "under construction", and/or "announced" status. A total will be calculated and shown below the other individual fields. See Example below:
