Hi everyone,
I am new to Power BI and look to solve the following problem:
I have a table of strings that looks something like this:
Column 1 Column 2
A Yes
A Yes
A No
B Maybe
B Maybe
C Technical
D Technical
D Contract
I want to count (sum) all variables in column 2 for each variable in column 1.
Preffered output looks like:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3
A Yes 2
A No 1
B Maybe 2
C Technical 1
D Technical 1
D Contract 1
Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you very much in advance!
With kind regards,
Martijn Kamps

Hi Martijn Kamps,
Actually there are two ways we can go.
Option 1: Use a measure.
Measure = COUNT ( Table1[Column2] )
Option 2: Add column2 twice, then choose count.
Hi,
Could you tell me if this worked? What else can I do for you?
Best Regards!
Dale
