Count Results from a Measure

Hi Guys.
Looking and looking I only saw complicated formulas of what I need and I couldn't reproduce.
I think it's simple. (for the experts)

I have a column with results from a measure. (with disposable zeros)

Planned
Planned

 0

Finished

Started

 

I wish I had a word count to use in a visual. (like Pie)

Finished1
Planned2
Started1

 

I thank the community for the help, every answer I get here helps me in at least 10 different things.

Thanks!

    Hi Peleias ,

     

    You need to create a separate table that contains all the status values. 

     

     

    Then use the measure.

     

    Count_ = 
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Column] ),
        [Result from a Measure] = MAX ( 'Status'[Value] )
    )
)

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,

    Peleias , if the measure is returning those values. Then you need to have a table with those values and then you use that in another measure using a group from the original table

     

    Very similar to what I have done here

      Thank you amitchandak 


      I saw your video and I didn't understand it very well.
      I searched here in the forum for several posts and most ask for a filter or a complex formula to have the result of the count based on a measure.

      So I asked for help here in the simplest version of this Dax of Counting words resulting from a measure... in order to understand how it works and understand more complex formulas with filters and variables of the result of a measure.
