Hello.

 

I was hoping somone knew how to do a Distinct list count in Power Query (inside the group by) and not Count nulls.


This should be 0 not 1

    Hi Robert14358 ,

     

    Please check the steps below.

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMrQ0UdJRMgBiEIrVwRCJBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [PART_Hull_Name = _t, PART_SWBS = _t, PART_Total = _t, PART_Relaeased = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"PART_Hull_Name", Int64.Type}, {"PART_SWBS", Int64.Type}, {"PART_Total", type text}, {"PART_Relaeased", type text}}),
        #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"PART_Total"}),
        #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"PART_Relaeased"}),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Replaced Value1", {"PART_Hull_Name", "PART_SWBS"}, {{"Data",each Table.FromColumns(List.Transform(List.Range(Table.ToColumns(_),2),(x)=> {List.Count(List.Distinct(x))}),{"PART_Total","PART_Relaeased"})}}),
        #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Data", {"PART_Total", "PART_Relaeased"}, {"PART_Total", "PART_Relaeased"})
    in
        #"Expanded Data"
