    Please try the following code, I have added two columns as requested:

     



    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnEMcVTSwUbF6sBl/fxhBLoMsgKIXCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "1st Two Columns", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,{"Column1","Column2"})), each _ =  "NO"))),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "2nd Two Columns", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,{"Column3","Column4"})), each _ =  "NO")))
in
    #"Added Custom1"

    Hi Fowmy ,

    Since the data is confidential, I have sent a modified excel file for you to have a look at it. FYI, data that I'm using comes from a Sharepoint list connected to Excel.

    What I would like to achieve is a COUNTIF Function on columns. If any of these columns contains a "No", then it should count as 1.

     



    I don't think conditional formatting column works because it doesn't seem to count the next column after that. I have thought of using excel formula but it would be easier if I can achieve this in Power Query itself.

    Thanks!

      Try this in a blank query and you can copy the following code in blank query and check the steps.

       

      let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnEMcVTSwUbF6sBl/fxhBLoMsgKIXCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "New Col", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(_), each _ =  "NO")))
in
    #"Added Custom"

        Hi there Fowmy 

        Your code works! Thanks a lot!

        However, I would like to see if I'm able to group the columns. Example, Column 1, Column 2 and Column 3 into a new COUNTIF Column. Then Column 4, Column 5 and Column 6 into another new COUNTIF Column. 

        With you current code, do I need to separate each columns into separate subset code?

      Hello Anonymous 

       

      you can add this formula to a new column 

      if List.AnyTrue(List.Transform(Record.ToList(_), each _ = "no"))=true then 1 else 0

      this gives you 1 if a "no" is present in your row

      here the complete code

      let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WqkwtVtKBknn5SrE60QgOXATGRlOCIOGKUIXQDY8FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [A = _t, B = _t, C = _t]),
    PreviousStep = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"A", type text}, {"B", type text}, {"C", type text}}),
    AddCountIf = Table.AddColumn
    (
        PreviousStep,
        "CountIfNo",
        each if List.AnyTrue(List.Transform(Record.ToList(_), each _ = "no"))=true then 1 else 0
    )
in
    AddCountIf

       

      Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
