Countrows - Counting all rows of table, although filtered

Hi, 

I'm trying to replicate the Excel function COUNTIF, to count how many times a manager's name appears in a table. I have read numerous guides on this, and tried a few different ways of solving it, but all end up in the same way. Counting all rows, instead of the ones filtered. 

Here is one of the measures I use in a column:

 

Team size = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table2),FILTER(Table2,Table2[Manager]=Table2[Manager]))
 
I want it to output a number saying how many that shares that manager, but it outputs the total number of rows in the entire table. 

What am I doing wrong? 

Many thanks!

@Anonymous , the Above formula, should work for what you shown in excel

Team size = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[Manager]),FILTER(allselected(Table2),Table2[Manager]=max(Table2[Manager])))

 

or

Team size = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[Manager]),Allexcept(Table2,Table2[Manager]))

@Anonymous , the expected output is not clear . But try like 

 

Team size = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table2),FILTER(allselected(Table2),Table2[Manager]=max(Table2[Manager])))

Thanks @amitchandak. It did not work, unfortunately. It outputed the same value in all rows as well. 

I'm adding a print screen of an excel with my wanted output, hope it explains.
