As always, there might be some Org function for this, but otherwise here
is a starting point:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun tj/count-tbl-rows (&optional tbl-as-lisp)
"Return number of tbl rows for tbl at point."
(interactive)
(let ((rows (if tbl-as-lisp
(length tbl-as-lisp)
(length (org-table-to-lisp)))))
(message "Table has %d Rows" rows)
rows))
#+end_src
#+results:
: tj/count-tbl-rows
#+NAME: nice-tbl
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
| pretty | impressive | table |
#+header: :var data=nice-tbl
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(tj/count-tbl-rows data)
#+end_src
#+results:
: 6
