Create a new table with distinct values

Hi

 

I am trying to create a new distinct table.

My source data has the following fields:

Store ID, Department, Month, Total Sales

I need understand how I can create a table which will display the Departments as a distinct list with the number of stores per Department.

Department EG: Retail, 4 Stores

 

This table needs to be dynamic and only show active stores in the data source.

 

Thanks

 

Dale

@DaleK , Based on What I got

 

Summarize(Table, Table[Department], "Stores", count(Table[Store ID]))
