Create a table with summarized values of another table

Hi, 

I have a Table and I would like to create a NewTable that will be summarizing the results of an existing Table:

My current Table consists of columns: Student name, Course name, Course taken

NewTable should consist of the columns: Student name, distinctcount (Course name) as UniqueCourseNames, sum(Course taken)  as TotalCoursesTaken

 

The example of .pbix file can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rl77fwi1vjq7d2b/TestTable.pbix?dl=0

 

Thanks!

@juliausha why you want a new table although you can do following to create the table:

 

New Table = 
SUMMARIZE ( YourTable, YourTable[StudentName], "Unique Course Count", DISTINCTCOUNT ( YourTable[CourseName] ), "Total Courses Taken", SUM ( YourTable[CourseTaken] )
)
