How do I pivot a dimension count while keeping the ID rows?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone. 

This is what I want to do in Power Query. It's seemlingly very simple but I haven't been able to find the answer. 

When I pivot by Product, it gives me the total product count for the whole set. But I want the count grouped by ID, as seen in the image below.

Thanks for your time.

Hi, @Anonymous 

You can refer to @amitchandak advice, his suggestion does work in Desktop using Matrix to achieve what you need, and if you want to achieve the effect in Power Query, you can refer to the following method.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQrOyE9VitWBcJwTi+DsgJzEPIRMSFEqghNcWJpZVJSaAxYwghqiAOfBTDFCMcUIXaMxirQxsiXG2NTCXWqCotEEWaMJukYTZI2mSI4zRTHEFG5ILAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [IDs = _t, Product = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"IDs", type text}, {"Product", type text}}),
    #"Trimmed Text" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Product", Text.Trim, type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Trimmed Text", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Added Index", List.Distinct(#"Added Index"[Product]), "Product", "Index", List.NonNullCount)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
