Help with the count

Hi! 

I have a test table, the first column has document id that it duplicates and the same document can go throught several diffrent operations. I would like to see how many diffrent operations the same document goes thrught and still keep the time for each operation. How can i achive this?

@Just2431 If you had posted your sample data as text, I could have given you a working PBIX file. So, instead, I'll try to explain the process. In PQ Editor, do a Group By operation and use Doc id as the grouping. Use Advanced. Add a Count aggregation as well as an aggregation that keeps all rows. Now, expand the all rows column for your operation_name and time. Now you will have a new column that provides the count of operations for each doc id on each row and also preserve the rest of your data.
