Count Text Occurence

Hello,

 

I'm trying to get the top 10 occurrences of a column (see below)

 

Table 


The format is text.


Ideally, I would like to get the following result:

 

Result 

 

In this example, Laptop = "5242"  and Windows User Profile = "5003"

 

Thx in advance

 

Regards

 

Julien

Hi @Noexicaise ,

 

For your issue, maybe you can do like this:

//create a column in the original table; the Sales[Brand]field is the counted column
Number = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNT(Sales[Brand]),
    ALLEXCEPT(
        Sales, Sales[Brand]
    )
) 
// return the count table
Count_occurence = 
TOPN(
    10,
    DISTINCT(Sales),
    Sales[Number],
    ASC
) 

 

Best Regards,

Do you have a table with columns showing you which number goes with what name? Like:

 

NameNumber
Laptop5242

 

If so, you can use a table visual adding 2 columns, one column shows you the "Name" and the other column shows you "Count of Name". You might have to add some relationships if you have more than 1 table.
