Creating measure for count of occurrence of the value of one column in a different table.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on creating a PowerBI reporting analyzing incident data. I'm trying to calculate how many times a value in Table 1 Column 1 occurs in column 2 Table 2. I am struggling with the values that have multiple "Tactics".
Based on the tables in the screenshot I am looking for an output like below

IntialAccess2
Discovery1
Exfiltration1

Hopefully there is an easy answer I am not seeing.

Thanks!

Hi @PowerBEye1 

Please try this measure

count = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table',CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[Tactic],MAX(List[Column1]))))

result

@PowerBEye1 

suggest first to split the Tactic column in Table 2 into rows in Power Query. Check this:
