    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

        Thanks BobBI.

         

        I need to get it in separate columns because I want them to composte an cumulative line chart, in order to access specific category by filtering, I think your solution could not accomplish that.

         

        Is there anyway to break it in columns?

      Sure. Otherwise, I would not have been able to create the table.

        Yeah, I mean by using DAX or M languages. The way you created I cannot graph it. Do you understand my point?
