count rows based on distinct values from another column

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am new to Power BI and I am just discovering DAX formulas. What I need is very simple but cannot find a clear answer in the different subjects.

I have a column with strings in it which are not unique. 

I want to count the number of rows for each unique string of this column.

Somebody has a clue?

TY!

Could you please mark the proper answer as solution or share the answer if it's convenient for you? That will be a help to the others.

Best Regards!

There is a built-in Count aggregate that can handle this for you; you can use any other column on that table for the aggregate, and then rename the result to whatever you'd like.
