Hi dear Community,
In Power BI (Desktop)
I have 20 columns with numbers and and I need to count them if they match with a value (i.e. count if the column's value = 0)
I need to create a new column with this count
Any advice how I can calculate it, since the countif function (for columns) does not exist in Power Bi
I appreciate your help

With Query Editor, We can add a custom Column like
List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(_),each _ =0))
Thanks a lot for your help..
It worked, but I would like to understand it better.
Could you try to explain it in a few words?...pleaseee... I appreciate it
Thanks a lot

Hi Zubair,
Actually, I would like to know how I can specify a contigous range of columns in order to apply this "count if"...
How I can do it?
Below the 3 columns that I need to apply this "Count If"
You could use IF Functions in Power Query Including Nested IF for these three columns

For example:
if [Column1]" and [Column2] and [Column3] then <Your expected outrput> else <Your other output>
Regards,
Lin
