Create Counter for Each Value in a Specific Columns as New Columns

Hi community,

 

I stucking in a problem for 2 days long. I searched for examples here but I don't even know the correct words to express it properly.

 

I made these two tabels to show my need. I have a table like so:

 

DateCategories
05/07/2017Category1
06/07/2017Category1
06/07/2017Category2
07/07/2017 
07/07/2017Category1
08/07/2017Category3
09/07/2017 
10/07/2017Category1
10/07/2017Category2
10/07/2017Category3

 

And I need to quantify the categories in each date, which means this:

 

DateCategory1Category2Category3"Null"
05/07/20171   
06/07/201711  
07/07/20171  1
08/07/2017  1 
09/07/2017   1
10/07/2017111 

 

It's simples to illustrate, but could not reach any solved question with similar in my searches.

 

Thanks for your help!

Regards!

    This was cool,

     

     

    You should to pivot the Category column.
    This is the new script:

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjDVNzDXNzIwNFfSUXJOLElNzy+qNFSK1QFKmZEmZQSRMkeSwhRBM8cCi5QxRMoS3RxDA5zmYJUywi0FtCIWAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Categories = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date", type date}, {"Categories", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","","""Null""",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Categories"}),
    #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Categories", "Categories - Copy"),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Duplicated Column", List.Distinct(#"Duplicated Column"[#"Categories - Copy"]), "Categories - Copy", "Categories", List.Count)
    in
    #"Pivoted Column"

     

    I deserve a big congratulation, so I congratulate myself ... Well done ...; D

      Thanks for you help!

       

      Yes, thats exactly what I need, but is it possible to manipulate it in query editor?

       

      Or maybe create a new table in the report itself?

        i created 2 duplicate entries to show the result. Create a summary table and use it to create visual.

         

        SUMMARIZE(categories,
          categories[Date],
          categories[Categories],
          "Count",count(categories[Date])
          )

         

        Hope this helps,

        SS
