Create New Table with Count

I have a table with the following information:-

 

BDMDepot
Internal01Liverpool
Internal01Liverpool
Internal01Manchester
Internal01Manchester
Internal02Manchester
Internal03Liverpool
Internal03Manchester
Internal03Manchester
Internal03Bolton
Internal03Bolton

 

I wish to create a new table that counts the number of times each BDM is listed against each depot and adds in the current date each day the table is updated:-

 

DateDepotBDMTotal
21/04/2022LiverpoolInternal012
21/04/2022ManchesterInternal012
21/04/2022ManchesterInternal021
21/04/2022LiverpoolInternal031
21/04/2022ManchesterInternal032
21/04/2022BoltonInternal032

 

What is the best way to approach this?

To get the date when the data was last refreshed you would need to create a new query in Power Query which returns the current date. You can then use that to create a new summary table like

Summary Table = CROSSJOIN(
	SUMMARIZECOLUMNS( 'Table'[Depot], 'Table'[BDM], "Total", COUNTROWS('Table') ),
	LastUpdated
)

where LastUpdated is the table with the last updated date in it
