I would like to write a formula that indicates how many individual buy and sell orders exist for a given item. Is there an easy way of doing this?

I understand that the following is a link to all of the buy and sell orders in Jita for trit: http://api.eve-marketdata.com/api/item_orders2.xml?char_name=demo&buysell=a&type_ids=34

is there any way to count the amount of orders? Thanks in advance!

If understand your question correctly you could use two XPath queries for this.

Buy orders:

//emd/result/rowset/row[@buysell='b']/


Sell orders:

//emd/result/rowset/row[@buysell='s']/


Both queries return a nodelist collection where nodelist.length = number of orders for this type.
