Count number of rows in a text column

[AndrewRichards]

Morning all

Firstly, my apologies - I'm sure I'm an idiot. What I want is SO simple that I can't believe I can't find it. I've also just spent 45 mins searching for an existing post to answer it, but can't find what I want that way either. So, apologies.

I have a table, with two columns, both containing text. I don't want to add any further columns. All I want is a count of the number of rows at the bottom. Something like this (screenshot taken from Excel):

I've tried specifying "Count" for the column in the visualisations panel, but that removes the name from each row and instead counts each row, so I've reverted back to "Don't summarize" so that I get the names back. 

I've tried creating a new Measure, simply containing COUNTROWS(CasesTable), and when I add this, I get my total (yay!), but at the bottom of a new column which contains a 1 for each row (boo!). 

I know this must be really easy, but I can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

Hi @AndrewRichards ,

How about the result after you follow the suggestions mentioned in my original post?Could you please provide more details about it If it doesn't meet your requirement?

Hi @AndrewRichards ,

We can create a measure and use it in the table visual, then close the word warp of column header and values to hide the origin survery column

Surveyor Measure = IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Surveyor]),SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Surveyor]),COUNTROWS('Table')&"")

If the case ref only has one surveyor, we can just use the following measure to meet your requirement:
