    Hi theo ,

    I created a sample pbix file(see attachment), please check whether that is what you want.

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("RZDJDUQhDEN74czhZ2OpBdF/G8MLQnOxnMSOA2sVi1LLlAOiB6JTfgcaQCUQnUAvu67ToCPM+nhGo0IUjRYLITHSEt/l9TLN3WjMyeMGBRqS6emZcGN3yzOY23yl4mYoyFzS0ok0e2pHPfIxeWIqCVT9x4g9jzPXvOA9wYkaWKTdX9j7Bw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [col1 = _t, col2 = _t, col3 = _t, col4 = _t, col5 = _t, col6 = _t, col7 = _t, col8 = _t, col9 = _t, col10 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"col1", Int64.Type}, {"col2", Int64.Type}, {"col3", Int64.Type}, {"col4", Int64.Type}, {"col5", Int64.Type}, {"col6", Int64.Type}, {"col7", Int64.Type}, {"col8", Int64.Type}, {"col9", Int64.Type}, {"col10", Int64.Type}}),
        MyCols = List.Buffer(List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type"), each Text.StartsWith(_, "col"))),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type" , "Range10", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,MyCols)), each _<11))   ,Int64.Type),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Range20", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,MyCols)), each _<21 and _>=11))),
        #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "Range30", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,MyCols)), each _<31 and _>=20)))
     in 
     #"Added Custom2"

    Of course, you can also follow the suggestion by Greg_Deckler , add index column in Power Query Editor and unpivot these value columns. Finally, create 3 measures to get the counts...

    Note: This method will destroy the original structure of the table...

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("RZDJDUQhDEN74czhZ2OpBdF/G8MLQnOxnMSOA2sVi1LLlAOiB6JTfgcaQCUQnUAvu67ToCPM+nhGo0IUjRYLITHSEt/l9TLN3WjMyeMGBRqS6emZcGN3yzOY23yl4mYoyFzS0ok0e2pHPfIxeWIqCVT9x4g9jzPXvOA9wYkaWKTdX9j7Bw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [col1 = _t, col2 = _t, col3 = _t, col4 = _t, col5 = _t, col6 = _t, col7 = _t, col8 = _t, col9 = _t, col10 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"col1", Int64.Type}, {"col2", Int64.Type}, {"col3", Int64.Type}, {"col4", Int64.Type}, {"col5", Int64.Type}, {"col6", Int64.Type}, {"col7", Int64.Type}, {"col8", Int64.Type}, {"col9", Int64.Type}, {"col10", Int64.Type}}),
         #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
        #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each List.Count(List.Select( #"Added Index"[Index], each _<11))),
        #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns" = Table.Unpivot(#"Added Custom", {"col10", "col9", "col8", "col7", "col6", "col5", "col4", "col3", "col2", "col1"}, "Cols", "Value")
        in 
        #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns"

    Range10_1 = CALCULATE(COUNT('7Jun_output (2)'[Cols]),FILTER('7Jun_output (2)','7Jun_output (2)'[Index]=SELECTEDVALUE('7Jun_output (2)'[Index])&&'7Jun_output (2)'[Value]<11))
    Range20_1 = CALCULATE(COUNT('7Jun_output (2)'[Cols]),FILTER('7Jun_output (2)','7Jun_output (2)'[Index]=SELECTEDVALUE('7Jun_output (2)'[Index])&&'7Jun_output (2)'[Value]<21))
    Range30_1 = CALCULATE(COUNT('7Jun_output (2)'[Cols]),FILTER('7Jun_output (2)','7Jun_output (2)'[Index]=SELECTEDVALUE('7Jun_output (2)'[Index])&&'7Jun_output (2)'[Value]<31))
