Need to Get Table.ColumnCount if column contains specific value
Hi Anonymous You have provided wrong information and desired output. However, to count rows which contain specific word, try below steps:
AddCountColumn = Table.AddColumn(PreviousSteps, "DifferentCount", each try if Table.HasColumns([Sheets], "Column Name") then Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows([Sheets], each Text.Contains([Column Name], "Different"))) else 0 otherwise 0)Change column name accordingly.
[Sheets] column will contain your table and the column name from which you want to count rows which contains specific word, for your case "DIFFERENT".
For my case, I have used Customer Name column from table. Each table contain this column, if not then will return 0.
Hope this will solve your problem!!

Have you checked if Column Name column actually contains the word you're looking for. I am thinking, you used Table.ColumnNames on tables without promoting the first row as the headers first - if this is the case, the column names will be just Column1, Column2, etc. Please ensure they're promoted first.
Table.ColumnNames(Table.PromoteHeaders([Data Column], [PromoteAllScalars = true]))
