Thank you so much for the solution and extensive explanation! It's working perfectly.
A follow up question: Would it be possible to sort the table by the column "Conversations" in descending order of number of conversations? I can imagine that it's hard with the current solution because TW renders the table line by line for each Person. I also tried using TiddlyTables. Using the tbl-anything column with a custom column template <td> <$count filter="[tag[Conversation]contains:contact<currentRecord>]"/> </td> works the same as above solution and shows the correct number of conversations per contact. I can click on the column header to sort it, but nothing happens. Also I tried changing the sort mode in the settings without luck. I guess the table is still being rendered line by line alphabetically by person because that is the initial filter expression. Any ideas how to sort the column? Thanks again!
