Set parameter from sum of global table column

Is it possible to use the sum of a global table column as my parameter which then should dictate the number of task executors I have available in my model?

Thanks in advance

Change the parameter type to "Expressions". This allows you to use a FlexScript expression that will get evaluated when calling the parameter. Then you can use SQL to query the table for the sum of a column.

How this controls the number of task executers depends on how they are controlled in the model (dispatcher, process flow, custom task sequences, ...).
