Measure to count number of items in a column

I have a dataset like this

 

Employee Name      Attendance Issue

Bob                          Absent

Bob                          Absent

Bob                          Absent

Bob                          Late

Bob                          Late

 

I want to be able count the number of employee issues and put them in a table.  So the table woud look like this

 

Name       Absent       Late

Bob           3                 2

 

I'm thinking the best way is to create a measure for each attendance issue I have.  Then put all those measures into a table.

 

It has to be a table and not a matrix as I'm adding other columns to it like Employee Supervisor.  End goal is to then create a calculated column where I can apply weighted values to the different columns to then come up with a "score".  So someone with more absences than someone else would have a lower score

You can create two-measures as follows and use on a table visual:

Absent = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(T13), T13[  Attendance Issue] = "Absent")
Late = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(T13), T13[  Attendance Issue] = "Late")
