Count how often a same order number appears.

Hi people, I hope somebody can help. I think the soulution could be pretty easy, but I couldn't figure it out yet:

 

I have a column with different and same order numbers. I want to count how often a order numbers appears just one time and how often an order numbers appears multiple times. And then show it in a diagram.

 

In Excel I would just create a pivot table which count the quantity of how many times a number appears and then I could show the actual number with an "COUNTIF" function.

How could I do it in a efficient way in PowerBi?

 

Thanks in advance! 🙂

You could try these two expressions

 

Orders One Time =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        DISTINCT ( Table[OrderNumber] ),
        CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ) ) = 1
    )
)

Orders Multiple Times =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        DISTINCT ( Table[OrderNumber] ),
        CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ) ) > 1
    )
)

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.
