CHOOSING ROWS WITH PARTICULAR VALUE.

i have two columns with the following values

col A  col B

a         1

b         2

c         2

d         1

e         2

 

I would like to have a count from column B with rows that have only '2' as an entry.

I.E in this case 3 is the answer i am looking for

i have been using this formula : 

M = COUNTROWS(Query1,Query1[col B]="2")
 
but it doesnt seem to work. 
Looking forward to some insights.

Hi @hulk_deka ,

According to your description, here's my solution. 

Create a measure.

M =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Query1', 'Query1'[col B] = 2 ) )

Get the result.

As you say "column B with rows that have only '2' as an entry", I'm not sure if you mean for example the below sample, the 2 of e should not be included, as it still as a value 1.

If this is the case, modify the formula to:

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( Query1[col A] ),
    FILTER (
        'Query1',
        COUNTROWS (
            FILTER (
                'Query1',
                'Query1'[col A] = EARLIER ( 'Query1'[col A] )
                    && 'Query1'[col B] <> 2
            )
        ) = 0
    )
)

Get the correct result according to the modified sample.

Use this one 

= List.Count(List.Select(Query1[col B], each _=2 or _="2"))

 

is there any way we can use it as a measure? the above formula doesnt seem to be accepted as a measure and gives out an error.
