Distinct count for column

I have a column that contain 2 distinct values, incoming and outgoing. How can I create a measure that will give me sum of each distinct. Like I want to have the total number of incoming and also total number of outgoing.

Thanks, I got what I need. I use :
Count_incoming=calculate(counta(table[column]), table[column] in {'incoming'})

That being said, you could put your column with incoming/outgoing in a visual and then just place your other column in the visual and use the default aggregation of sum.

 

If you really want a measure, you could do something like:

Measure Incoming = SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Column]="Incoming"),[Column1])
Measure Outgoing = SUMX(FILTER('Table',[Column]="Outgoing"),[Column1])
