    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,

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.
