How to Filter multiple columns to count value?

Hi - I am fairly new to PBI and trying to understand how to filter / count value.

I'd ultimately like to filter the year and count or filter + count the number of red vs blue.

 

Am I able to write something in DAX to produce this?

 

2022red
2022red
2022red
2022blue
2023red
2023red
2023blue
2023blue

 

desired outcome:
2022 Red: 3; 2022 Blue: 1
2023 Red: 2; Blue: 2

Hi @avo_om2134 ,

If I understand correctly, the issue is that you want to filter the year and count the red and blue. To solve the issue, you can follow these steps:

1.Create a simple table.

Hi  avo_om2134

if you can use dax functions to grouping and count values

Step 1 : Click Data View your table (year  and  colour table ) and then the ribbon will show the table tools 

Step 2: Create new Table

step 3:

use the code -

summarytable = SUMMARIZE(Yourtable,Yourtable[year],Yourtable[colour], "Count", COUNTROWS(Yourtable))
