Count the result of a measure

On a previous post I received amazing help in: "Filter single column with multiple conditions (words in a string)"

 

Solved: Re: Filter single column with multiple conditions ... - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

Find text that has "red" and "green" in single column

 

Selector Measure = 
  VAR __Name = MAX('Table'[NAME])
  VAR __Table = SUMMARIZE('Table',[NAME],"__STRING",CONCATENATEX('Table',[STRING]))
  VAR __Table1 = ADDCOLUMNS(__Table,"__Red",SEARCH("red",[__STRING],,0),"__Green",SEARCH("green",[__STRING],,0))
  VAR __Names = DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(__Table1,[__Red]>0 && [__Green]>0),"__Name",[NAME]))
RETURN
  IF(__Name IN __Names,1,0)

I want to count the results of the Measure and followed this post and few others but could not get it to work.

As always, any insight would be appreciated!

// You can hide the [Selector Measure]
// from the user's view and use the following
// instead. It'll do what the other does
// and also will summarize correctly unlike the other.
// You can also replace the [Selector Measure]
// with its body inside the new measure and
// then get rid of the old one completely.
// Up to you.

[Your New Measure] =
sumx(
    values( 'Table'[Name] ),
    [Selector Measure]
)
