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.
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.

Hello.
Please I have a table made up of job posting IDs and job skills. I further splitted the job skills column so it may be easy to count for each skill. How can I count the values of each skill while keeping the posting IDs intact. The column I splitted have text like ('excel','python', 'r', 'sas') for each posting ID. how will I count for each skill in the resulting columns.
Hey I have the same question as you have, did you solve it and would you mind sharing how you solve the problem?
Thanks
It's not really clear what you are looking for. Please post a sample of your data in text format (not a screeen shot) in a table and show the desired result as well.

this is the sample table
This is the sample table. the table was obtained after I splitted a single column with text data like ('python' , 'excel' , 'r'). Now I need to create a measure which counts each skill per a posting id. Thanks in advance
Please provide sample data or preferably your file, and an exampel of the result you are after. Really hard to help without this.
