Need to create a calculated field

Hello all. I need to create a calculated field in my data load that counts the number of items a user has. For example, if this were my table:

CreepyCatLady_0-1631547974248.png

The field (Count of Units) would provide this:

CreepyCatLady_1-1631548049499.png

I hope this makes sense; I don't even know where to start to accomplish this.

Thank you! I do have a question though (it might be a stupid one, sorry if it is). The above was just an example to illustrate what I needed, but my actual data contains tens of thousands of users and items. I don't understand how to create an inline table in that case?

I used the inline table to demonstrate the aggregation.  The resident command would refer to the table that you load in you script.
