Powery Query Distinct Count

[Robert14358]

Hello.

I was hoping somone knew how to do a Distinct list count in Power Query (inside the group by) and not Count nulls.

This should be 0 not 1

Hi @Robert14358 ,

Please check the steps below.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMrQ0UdJRMgBiEIrVwRCJBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [PART_Hull_Name = _t, PART_SWBS = _t, PART_Total = _t, PART_Relaeased = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"PART_Hull_Name", Int64.Type}, {"PART_SWBS", Int64.Type}, {"PART_Total", type text}, {"PART_Relaeased", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"PART_Total"}),
    #"Replaced Value1" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"PART_Relaeased"}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Replaced Value1", {"PART_Hull_Name", "PART_SWBS"}, {{"Data",each Table.FromColumns(List.Transform(List.Range(Table.ToColumns(_),2),(x)=> {List.Count(List.Distinct(x))}),{"PART_Total","PART_Relaeased"})}}),
    #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Data", {"PART_Total", "PART_Relaeased"}, {"PART_Total", "PART_Relaeased"})
in
    #"Expanded Data"

i cannot remove rows like that becuase some will not have nulls in both columns, i only show that to show that is counting nulls,

@Robert14358 , remove duplicate or group by

Remove Empty and Remove duplicate Rows (Power Query) : https://youtu.be/Hc5bIXkpGVE

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
