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])

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

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