Morning Guys, hope its all well!

Column Role Names
Group Leader
Member
Business unit Leader
In some cases Business unit leader and group leader should considered as the same.
I'll appreciate if anyone has some feedback.
Have a great day 👍

Count for one role name = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[role id]),FILTER( ALL('Table'),'Table'[role names]="lisa"))
Sample data:
