DAX remove duplicates or groupby

Hello, I have the follow dataset that has been denormalized (columns A-D).  The result I'm looking for is in column G/H.  I simply wanto a count of the Type field grouped by AnalyticID.  As you can see in the data, a given AnalyticID will have multiple rows because of the Input column but for the most part AnalyticID and Type will be one-to-one, so if I could remove duplicates based on AnalyticID+Type, and then groupby it would work, but I can't quite figure out how to do that.

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new table.

 

Jihwan_Kim_0-1673534780484.png

 

 

New table =
GROUPBY (
    SUMMARIZE ( Data, Data[AnalyticID], Data[Type] ),
    Data[Type],
    "@Count", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), 1 )
)
