Hello,
I am trying to create a table with distint value, but how can I create it?
for example, i have a table as below:
Name | Age | School
Chris, 13, Harvard
John, 18, UCLA
Sue, 18, Harvard
Jason, 17, Yale
from the table above, i want to create a column or a table that contains the school
School
1. Harvard
2. UCLA
3. Yale
(no need to number them)

Hi @yyhk123,
That's simple. Just use:
Distinct = DISTINCT('Table'[School])
In case you don't want just the list of names but other data also, like the number of students in that school, then use:
Count = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[School],"Number of Students",COUNT('Table'[Name]))
Works for you? Mark this post as a solution if it does!
