    New Table =
    ROW (
    "Alabama", COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[States] = "Alabama" ) ),
    "Texas", COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[States] = "Texas" ) ),
    "Illinois", COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[States] = "Illinois" ) ),
    "Michigan", COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[States] = "Michigan" ) ),
    "Ohio", COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Data, Data[States] = "Ohio" ) )
    )
