How can I add ##rowcount to this SQL query - html

Question

SET #tableHTML =
N'<H1>Report Heading</H1>' +
N'<table border="1">' +
N'<th>Check Number</th>' +
N'<th>Last Operator Date</th>' +
N'<th>Last Timestamp</th>' +
N'<th>Run Date</th>' +
N'<th>Issued Check Number</th>' +
N'<th>Error Description</th>' +
'<tr>' +
CAST ( ( SELECT td = S.CHK_NUM, '',
td = S.LAST_OPER_ID, '',
td = S.LAST_TIMESTMP, '',
td = S.RUN_DT, '',
td = ISNULL(S.RE_ISSUE_CHK_NUM,-1), '',
td = ISNULL(S.ERR_DESC,'<null>'), ''
FROM STAGNG_CDDP_ERR_RCD S
FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
) AS NVARCHAR(MAX) ) +
N'</table>' ;
PRINT #tableHTML
I want to count the resulting rows and assign it to a variable. How can that be achieved?

Just add a count query:
DECLARE #tableHTML NVARCHAR(MAX), #Count int;
SELECT #tableHTML =
N'<H1>Report Heading</H1>' +
N'<table border="1">' +
N'<th>Check Number</th>' +
N'<th>Last Operator Date</th>' +
N'<th>Last Timestamp</th>' +
N'<th>Run Date</th>' +
N'<th>Issued Check Number</th>' +
N'<th>Error Description</th>' +
'<tr>' +
CAST ( ( SELECT td = S.CHK_NUM, '',
td = S.LAST_OPER_ID, '',
td = S.LAST_TIMESTMP, '',
td = S.RUN_DT, '',
td = ISNULL(S.RE_ISSUE_CHK_NUM,-1), '',
td = ISNULL(S.ERR_DESC,'<null>'), ''
FROM STAGNG_CDDP_ERR_RCD S
FOR XML PATH('tr'), TYPE
) AS NVARCHAR(MAX) ) +
N'</table>'
, #Count = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM STAGNG_CDDP_ERR_RCD);
PRINT #Count;
PRINT #tableHTML;
