Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You can create a new table with UNION() and SELECTCOLUMNS() function.

Table 2 =
UNION (
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table1, "TU", table1[T1U] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table1, "TU", table1[T2U] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table1, "TU", table1[T3U] ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS ( table1, "TU", table1[T4U] )
)

Then you can count it.

@amitchandak This data is coming from shairpoint and is not pivoted, I only provided a sample based off of how the true data is presented to me.   When I tried to follow those instructions everything transformed to "Error"
