Table.Profile sum based on another column

I'm stuck with something that seems very simple but for some reason I can't seem to be able to make it work.   I have the following table:   I create a new query in order to do a table prof...

    Hi zaza ,

    please try this:

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjRQ0lEyBGEDAwOlWJ1oCAdFALcSfPIGBpiGQMTQ1eBQYICwJRYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", Int64.Type}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}, {"Column3", Int64.Type}}),
    Custom1 = Table.Profile(#"Changed Type"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Custom1, "Custom", each List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", (inner) => Record.Field(inner, [Column]) = 1)[Column1]))
in
    #"Added Custom"

Hi zaza ,

try adjusting your statement like so:

 

 Table.Profile(Query3, {{"Custom", each Type.Is(_, type nullable number), each List.Sum(    List.Select( _, each _ = 1 )    )}})

      Hi zaza ,

      so you want to see 4 in each column? Good to understand your requirement now.
      Then adjust it to return null for the non-Column1-rows (if [Column] = "Column1" then...) and fill down (and up, if necessary) the value for Column1.
      Having said this I'm wondering why you try to force it through the opional parameter. 
      Simply add a column after the Table.Profile step with the following formula: 

       

      List.Count(List.Select( Query3[Column1], (inner) => inner = 1 ))
