Dear Sirs,
In Excel we have the countif formula, how do we use this formula in the BI table?
I would like to count the repeated values in the table ascending according to their location: eg:
Countif (A$1:A2; A2), where column "A" = "Name"
| Number | Countif |
| Juan | 1 |
| Pedro | 1 |
| Ricardo | 1 |
| Juan | 2 |
| Ricardo | 2 |
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
This M code works
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8ipNzFOK1YlWCkhNKcoHs4IykxOLUiBsuDRcMBYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Number = _t]),
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type),
Partition = Table.Group(#"Added Index", {"Number"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index1",1,1), type table}}),
#"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"Index", "Index1"}, {"Index", "Index1"}),
#"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Expanded Partition",{{"Index", Order.Ascending}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Sorted Rows",{"Index"})
in
#"Removed Columns"
Hope this helps.
