A simple way for COUNTIF function in power query
Hello Community,
I have a data set as shown below. Is there a way to have this done in power query editor. Column A and B is the Data input and Column C and D are the results expected.
Every help in this regard is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Second column with countif added.

Nice challenge!
I have solved the first column. Number 2 is copy paste.let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlLSUTIGYkMwjtWBiMBEjcEipkCWKVTUCEXEBIzBugwMQCZYWqKYZQFiggmEXoQYVHcsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [C1 = _t, C2 = _t, C1D = _t, C2D = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"C1", Int64.Type}, {"C2", Int64.Type}, {"C1D", Int64.Type}, {"C2D", Int64.Type}}), AddedIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(AddedIndex, "SUMIF_1_argument", each if [Index] = 0 then {AddedIndex{[Index]}[C1], AddedIndex{[Index]}[C2]} else {AddedIndex{[Index]-1}[C1], AddedIndex{[Index]-1}[C2], AddedIndex{[Index]}[C1], AddedIndex{[Index]}[C2]}), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "SUMIF_2_argument", each #"Added Custom"{[Index]}[C1]), #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom1", "ResultC1", (FirstIterator)=> List.Count( List.Select( FirstIterator[SUMIF_1_argument], each _ = FirstIterator[SUMIF_2_argument]))) in #"Added Custom2"- v-kelly-msftCommunity Support

Hi, jpattamthanam , in general, you may transform the target region (eg A1:B2 in your example) to list and use
List.Count(List.PositionOf( list , "substring" , Occurrence.All))to count the occurrence of a specific string.

Use "Group by" on column A, and choose "Count" as the metric, but click on "advanced" and add another metric, call this one "All" and select "All Rows" as the metric.
After the Group is complete, expand "All" to get your original rows back, but now with the Row Count column. Do the same for Column B and you are done.

But are the duplicates to be counted only those in the ranges of two rows and two columns? For example, the 3 in the second line comes from = COUNTIF ($ A2: $ B3; $ A3) the 1 of the sixth line comes from = COUNTIF ($ A5: $ B6, $ A6)

Ah! I get it.
You are right, my idea won't work.
I'm brainstorming what could work, but right now I've got nothing.
