    Hi PowerTrouble ,

     

    I found that the data structure of your table is similar to what I guessed. After you "Unpivot the table", filter out the rows with [Value] = "Certified". Isn't this what you want?

PowerTrouble , Create a measure like

calculate(countrows(Table), Filter(Table, Table[qualifications] ="Certified"))

 

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

      Hi PowerTrouble ,

       

      Is your table like this?

      Maybe you can 'Unpivot the columns'.
