Hi,

no idea for WolframAlpha, but it seems to be working in the Wolfram Language.

countriespop1994 = {CommonName[#], CountryData[#, {"Population", 1994}]} & /@ CountryData[] //TableForm

The first lines of the output look like this:

If you need that data, you could open up a free (!) WolframCloud account and use the Wolfram language there. For your convenience I have attached the file with the data in csv format

Cheers,

M.

Hi Marco, Thanks for your information, but is there a way to count this data (population) in MM?

Cheers,...Jos

I'm actually looking for city populations, a list that I imagine would be too long to generate without filtering. Wolfram is capable of generating a list of 608 cities that currently have a population over 1 million, it would work if I could even run this same list of cities through a query of 1994 population, and filter out those below a million. But I'm not sure how to extend an existing query like that. Any advice? (even a link to the list of known data structures that you reference above would be helpful)

Thanks, d

Hi Jos,

do you mean:

Total@Select[QuantityMagnitude /@ countriespop1994[[All, 2]], NumberQ]
(*5642772619*)

Cheers,
