Hi,
Kindly help to advise the M language code to count distinct number of country per continent as per below table
Note: all rows should be remained the same
| Country List | Continent | Number of Distinct Country Per Continent (expected result) |
| China | Asia | 2 |
| India | Asia | 2 |
| England | Europe | 3 |
| France | Europe | 3 |
| Germany | Europe | 3 |
| France | Europe | 3 |
| USA | North America | 1 |
| Egypt | Africa | 1 |
| India | Asia | 2 |
| USA | North America | 1 |

Here is the Power Query code to do it:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs7IzEtU0lFyLM5MVIrViVbyzEvJRBFwzUvPScxLAQq5lhblF6SCBd2KEvOSU1HF3FOLchPzKgkrDA12BAr45ReVZCg45qYWZSZDbUqvLCgBWZ0GF8JwDVa9sQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Country List" = _t, Continent = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Country List", type text}, {"Continent", type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Continent"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(Table.Distinct(_)), Int64.Type}, {"All", each _, type table [Country List=nullable text, Continent=nullable text]}}),
#"Expanded All" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "All", {"Country List"}, {"All.Country List"})
in
#"Expanded All"
I have simply used the concept of Grouping here.
Grouping parameters look like:
The result looks like:
I hope this is what you are expecting.
