Create a Distinct Count Column that can be summed to get a Distinct Count Total
Hello - I am trying to create a new column that will contain a fraction that when summed, it will equal the total number of distinct counts for a column. In the Example Below, the Value I am trying to create would be .33333 because there are 3 ABC's and when summed it would equal 1 (1 distinct count). ABD would be .5 since there are 2 ABDs. If there were 4 values it would be .25, etc.
| Column 1 | Value I am trying to create |
| ABC | .3333 |
| ABC | .3333 |
| ABC | .3333 |
| ABD | .5 |
| ABD | .5 |
A new column = 1/ countX(filter(Table, [Column 1] = earlier([Column 1])), [Column 1])
