Hello
I need to create a column that says how many times the information is repeated in a column.
For example, I have a table where each row represents a sale, and in each of these rows there is the name of the salesperson; I need to create a column in this table that says how many times the seller's name is repeated, without using groupings.
Seller | Date | Value | Count |
Rafael | 11/08/2022 | 100 | 3 |
José | 11/08/2022 | 200 | 1 |
Zé | 11/08/2022 | 300 | 1 |
João | 11/08/2022 | 400 | 1 |
Zezinho | 11/08/2022 | 500 | 1 |
Rafael | 11/08/2022 | 600 | 3 |
Rafael | 11/08/2022 | 700 | 3 |

Hi,
Create this calculated column formula
=calculate(countrows(Data),filter(Data,Data[seller]=earlier([seller])))
Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.
thank you so much
however I have one more problem, in the dashboard I have a data filter, how do I make this formula obey the data filter? should I create a measure instead of a column? Does this formula also work if you are going to use it in a measure?
This formula's result will not update based on a slicer selection - only measures do. Why should the count change based on a date slicer selection. Share some data and show the expected result.
Hi
Option 1: create an Summarize Table, use CountX funtion, then Look up back
Option 2:
create measure
name_seller = SELECTEDVALUE (Seller column)
create column
count =
var a = measure name_seller
return COUNTX ( FILTER (table, Seller column = a), Seller column )
