Hi actzikas ，
First you need to create a calculated column to check whether the selected line has the value you need:

Yes, I saw that article but how would you use it in the above example I created?
I tried
Number of Calls = CALCULATE(Count('Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Activity Type]), Contains('Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)', 'Renewal Activity (Offsite Data)'[Activity Type] = "Call" ))
And that didn't work Tahreem24
