    Hi  ViniciusLeyro  

    You can use the split by column function to cleanse the data. Please see the following approach:

    your data:

    Select the first column and do ths split with advanced option = Rows

    Firwst result

    now do the same again with the other two columns. Then you will have a clean table with all combinations

     

    For the first two questions you can build now a measure with DISTINCT

     

    ADDON

    in the end I have seen that I have duplicates in the visual so do cleanse please also do a trim on the columns as a last steps in power query before loading into data model

    then it should be fine and not with the duplicates in the visual like above

     

     

    Best regards
    Michael
