+## Unreleased
+
+### Added
+
+- Add helper methods `(col,row)_count` and `is_empty`. The first set of methods return the number of columns and rows
+  respectively. The method `is_empty` returns if the table is empty (contains no data rows). Implemented by
+  [Techassi](https://github.com/Techassi) in [#119](https://github.com/Nukesor/comfy-table/pull/119).

 ## [7.0.1] - 2023-06-16
