Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new column.

Expected result CC =
COUNTROWS (
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            Data,
            Data[Employee] = EARLIER ( Data[Employee] )
                && Data[Employee] IN DISTINCT ( Data[Random name] )
        ),
        Data[Employee]
    )
) + 0

Thanks guys, both formulas worked!!!

@Edmundas However, I advise you to adopt mine, as it is computationally lighter.
