I populate the grid

and html variable includes < table>…. some values come from db.

After you populate the grid:

  for (int i = 0; i < gv.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            valueCount=0;
            for (int j = 1; j < gv.Columns.Count; j++)
            {
              if (gv.Rows[i].Cells[j].ToString()!="")
                  valueCount++;
            }
             gv.Rows[i].Cells[0].Text =valueCount.ToString();  
        }
