    Hi Aweklin

     

    If your datasource is an SQL datasource then you can just run this SQL as your query into your table and let the DB Engine do the grouping.  Otherwise you can do this both in the Query Editor and in DAX.

     

    In DAX the forumla will look something like :

     

    New Table = SUMMARIZE ( '<your table>' , [Name] , "ProductCount" , COUNTROWS('<your table>') )

You should be able to add Category and ID to a table visualization.  On the ID click the little down arrow and select "Count" (Values section of the table element on the right side menu).

 

I'm not familiar with QlikView.  You can use SQL to get your data into Power BI from a source that supports it, but DAX is used to create measures and calculated columns within the model.
