I am trying to get from this:

2Project BRicky;#Bob
3Project CAnna;#Eric;#Victoria;#Andrew
4Project DAnna;#Eric
5Project EAnna;#Victoria
6Project FVictoria
7Project GAndrew;#Derek
8Project HAndrew;#Victoria;#Bob
9Project IBob

 

To this:

Name of AnalystsNumber of projects
Bob3
Ricky1
Anna3
Eric2
Victoria4
Andrew3

I've tried doing a calculate distinct count formula but i am not getting the results as shown. I am trying to show this through a bar chart. Any ideas?

@Anonymous ,

I might try to split those columns in Power Query first. It appears that you have delimiters available. Then rename the columns to PA1, PA2 etc. 


Let me know if you have any questions.

If this solves your issues, please mark it as the solution, so that others can find it easily. Kudos are nice too.
