Hi all, i have a table with the columns ID and Category. The goal is to create a new table that lists the IDs, and an index of the number of categorys an ID had in its lifetime.

Example:

Data Table

ID / Category

00001 / SWF Info

00001 / Response FOMA

00001 / Creditreform

00001 / Legal IKU

00001 / Bankcrupcy

Desiered Result should be:

ID / Index

00001 / 5

Hi Samuel7265 It seems you need to use DISTINCTCOUNT function over your column Category?

Check link below.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution! Kudos Appreciated!

Thanks for your answer. DISTINCTCOUNT cant be used in the context of GROUPBY().

Hi Samuel7265 I am not familiar with your model, if it is simply like your example with 2 columns, possible solution could be measeure

Index Test = COUNTROWS('Sheet1 (2)')

Replace Sheet1 (2) with your table name. Hope this help
