Count Letters in Records?

Hallo Guys,

I have this table and at the end of each table I have a list.

How can I count the number of U letters in this list.

Where exactly is the list? Is if a field of a record? Make sure you build te list correctly. It looks like you are not specifying the field for the record.

Can you share the pbix? Try something like:

List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(RecordName, {Fieldname})) , each _ = "U")) 

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.
