    Hi amani1980 ,

     

    You can achieve your goal by writing a measure like the one below:

    CountsMeasure = 
VAR CurrentSeries = SELECTEDVALUE(Series[Series])
RETURN
SUMX(
    Runs,
    IF(CONTAINSSTRING(Runs[Runs], CurrentSeries), 1, 0)
)

    You can either use this measure in a calculated column, as shown below, or place it next to the Series rows in the matrix visual, as demonstrated in the one below.

     

    I have attached an example pbix file for your reference.
