My data looks like this (the desired result is marked in yellow)
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
expected result CC =
VAR _maxnumber =
MAXX (
ADDCOLUMNS (
Data,
"@countdelimiter", LEN ( Data[Path] ) - LEN ( SUBSTITUTE ( Data[Path], "|", "" ) )
),
[@countdelimiter]
) + 1
VAR _generateseriestable =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( GENERATESERIES ( 1, _maxnumber, 1 ), "@number", [Value] )
VAR _t =
GENERATE (
_generateseriestable,
ADDCOLUMNS ( Data, "@item", PATHITEM ( Data[Path], [@number] ) )
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( _t, [@item] = EARLIER ( Data[ItemID] ) ) )
Thanks 🙂
