But when i write this it give me the distint count of projects accross all Request Types which is 259 but i want it to be 69.(Verified it on Excel)

Hi Abhishek1,
Based on your description, you want to distinct count a column grouped by other columns, right?
You can use "Group By" in Query Editor, click Transform->Group By, refer to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-common-query-tasks#group-rows.

Jimmy Tao
