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!!
Super UserIf your list contains table column names and your column name contains "DIFFERENT", then this formula should work. You see that it return 0, that means formula working but not finding any word "DIFFERENT". Please check each list to make sure, column name exist with the desired word. Also, check header as danextian suggest.
Hope this helps!!
