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
| IntialAccess | 2 |
| Discovery | 1 |
| Exfiltration | 1 |
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

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