Using Measure to calculate list ?

Hi there!

 

Is it possible to use a Measure to calculate the count of each values in a column? (The table below is just one of a column in my raw data table)


For example,

Red = count of 5

Blue = count of 3

Green = count of 3

Black = count of 2

Purple = count of 3

 

color names
red
blue
green
green
green
blue
black
black
purple
red
red
red
red
purple
purple
blue

    Hi Keith011 ,

     

    I already helped you move this post to Power BI Desktop forum.

    Here's the solution. You can create a measure using COUNT function.

    Count = COUNT('Table'[color names])

  • This is probably a DAX / Power BI question which you could post in the Power BI forum instead of the Power Query forum?

    Use the DISTINCTCOUNT function, and use the colors as the dimension.
