    Hi, vickychill 

    Thanks for the reply from Bibiano_Geraldo. You can refer to the following methods to achieve your need.

    Method 1:

     

    And then modify the Subtotal label in the Column subtotals.



     

     

    Counts = 
VAR _FruitVeg = MAX('Table'[Fruit/Veg])
VAR _counts = COUNT('Table'[Fruit/Veg])
RETURN
IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Name]),_FruitVeg,_counts)

     

     


    Method 2:


    Create a dim table in Power Query:

     

    let
    Source = Table,
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(Source,{"Name"}),
    #"Removed Duplicates" = List.Combine( {{"Count"},Table.Distinct(#"Removed Other Columns")[Name]}),
    #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(#"Removed Duplicates", Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Converted to Table", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type)
in
    #"Added Index"

     

    Then use this measure:

     

    Measure = 
VAR __cur_column = SELECTEDVALUE('Table (2)'[Column1])
VAR __result = IF( __cur_column<> "Count", CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Fruit/Veg]),'Table'[Name]=__cur_column), CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table')))
RETURN
    __result

Thanks Bibiano_Geraldo.

Sorry I should have mentioned this before but I have around 50 names in my Name column and do not want to add all of them togther like you did. Any different way? Below is how table looks like FYI

I modified your formula which gives me the answer but not in format I want.

I changed it like:

Measure =
VAR fruitVeg = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Fruit /Veg])
VAR result =
CALCULATE(
    COUNT('Table'[Name]),
    'Table'[Fruit /Veg] = fruitVeg
)
RETURN
result
 which gives me:

 


I am looking for only "Total measure" column and also in the front if possible, all other columns are just unecessary.

let me know if there are anysuggestions

    Its clear now, but the desired result in your Matrix will be not reached, due there's no native way to hide column and keep show in total field, but you can keep your data to something link this:
