This is a very important issue for our business and despite the simple form I couldn't solve it in Power BI, until now. It needs to be done in M Querry, in order to allow a subsequent join with another table / data source, so a DAX solution will not help.

Hi @nazdravanul,
I copied and pasted your data in my model ( I called Data), and this is the Power Query code ( with Advanced Editor) :
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnJ0UorVwaSdPZ2Jol1cXBF0LAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Test = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Test", type text}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Test"}, {{"Count", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_,"Index",0,1), type table}}), #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count", {"Index"}, {"Index"}) in #"Expanded Count"
So you can replace the source and then copy and paste the rest....

Thank you very much - with a bit of tinkering, in order to adjust it to my existing querry, this worked like a charm! 🙂
