Creating a table with frequency of counts

Hi all, 

 

I have a table like this (Table1): 

 

IDColorTextureTaste
S1123
S2345
S3225
S4345
S5544

 

And I need a table like this : 

 

 12345
Color11201
Texture02030
Taste00113

 

I created an excel table such as : 

 

Variable
Color
Texture
Taste

 

I exported it in Power BI (Table2) and then I thought of adding 5 new columns, such as : 

 

 

1= 
VAR Crit = 1

VAR CLR1 =
CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Color] = Crit))

VAR CLR2 =  IF(CLR1=0,0,CLR1) VAR TXTR1 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Texture] = Crit))
VAR TXTR2 =
IF(TXTR1=0,0,TXTR1) VAR TST1 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Taste] = Crit)) VAR TST2 =
IF(TST1=0,0,TST1) Return IF(Table2[Variable]="Color",CLR2,IF(Table2[Variable]="Texture",TXTR2,IF(Table2[Variable]="Taste",TST2,0)))

 

But it doesnt work. It doesnt return any message error, but the column is totally empty. Any ideas?

With POwer Query, you can use this

 

 

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", type text}, {"Color", Int64.Type}, {"Texture", Int64.Type}, {"Taste", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Value", "Value - Copy"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Duplicated Column",{"ID"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Value", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Columns", {{"Value", type text}}, "en-US")[Value]), "Value", "Value - Copy", List.Count)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
