    According to your description, you want to count rows which meet the criteria. Right?

     

    You can create a measure like below:

     

    COUNTIFS =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Table ),
    FILTER (
        Table,
        Table[fault_code] = fault_code1
            && Table[equipment_id] = equipment_id1
    )
)

    Regards,

If you just want the count you can achieve this without any Measures or Calculated Columns.

Just create a Matrix.

Place Name in Rows - place Color in Columns - finally place either Name or Color in Values and change to display Count.

 

 

If you insist on having a COLUMN with this information

Concatenate the possible Name-Color combinations in a column and then count the results of that column

So first create a COLUMN:

Column = 'Table'[Name]&"-"&"'Table'[Color]

then create a COLUMN:

Countifs Column = CALCULATE ( COUNTA ( 'Table'[Column] ), ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Column] ) )

 

 

 

That should do it! Good Luck! :smileyhappy:
