Mode Measure

Hi !

I'm trying to add a Mode measure into my prices matrix grid similiar to what I have below in excel.  My matrix is set up the same way in pbi.  It would be great if I could also find a way to count the number of prices that match the Mode.  Thanks in advance!

Product  Amazon  Walmart Bestbuy  Home Depot Lowes Target Mode
1200200150125300275200
250757575856075
3300300600450400500300
425506060604560
510010075756585100

Hi , @jboschee 

According to your description, you want to get the [Mode] column in Power BI.Right?

For your need , i recommend you to realize it in Power Query Editor.

You can put this M code in the "Advanced Editor" in Power Query Editor:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("VY7BDcAwCAN34Z0HECDdBbH/Gg3QRsrnZGGDcQeCAYx4SFpk3Zw9XwoxHHjrMpdeeBKGlZlnq2lFqTUprdhJycv6n7Qb0o1pU3+Fd7F9xREv", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Product " = _t, #" Amazon " = _t, #" Walmart " = _t, #"Bestbuy " = _t, #" Home Depot " = _t, #"Lowes " = _t, #"Target " = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Product ", Int64.Type}, {" Amazon ", Int64.Type}, {" Walmart ", Int64.Type}, {"Bestbuy ", Int64.Type}, {" Home Depot ", Int64.Type}, {"Lowes ", Int64.Type}, {"Target ", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", (x)=> Table.Sort(Table.AddColumn(Table.FromColumns({List.Skip(Record.ToList(x))}),"count",(y)=> Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(Table.FromColumns({List.Skip(Record.ToList(x))}),(z)=>z[Column1]=y[Column1])) ,type number    ),{"count",1})[Column1]{0}        )
in
    #"Added Custom"

Then we can meet your need:

Hi @Arul ,

Here's the formula in excel =MODE(C2:H2).  Part of my question was how to get the mode in PBI and then do a count of the mode occurances as well.
