    Hi IbrahimHakim ,

     

    1. You can create the custom column in Power Query.

     

    = List.Count(List.Select( List.Skip( Record.ToList(_),1), each _ <> null and _ <> ""))

     

    2. Create a measure.

    • Select [Job Posting ID] column, then unpivot other columns.

    • Create the measure.
    Measure = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table (2)'[Value] ), 'Table (2)'[Value] <> BLANK () )

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,

Hi IbrahimHakim 

 

Please provide sample data or preferably your file, and an exampel of the result you are after.  Really hard to help without this.

 

regards
