Hello

check out this approach. It uses Table.Group and a special function to count your specific items.

Use this variable to input your items to be counted

ItemsToCount = {"CM", "PM", "TOB"},

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSgWNnX6VYHVShAHKFQvydMMSg5icBmTAcgCkE1BmTB9OOJkGMfpAtsQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group
    (
        #"Changed Type", 
        {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3"}, 
        {
            {
                "Count", 
                (tbl)=>
                let 
                    ItemsToCount = {"CM", "PM", "TOB"},
                    CountItems = Text.Combine(List.Transform(ItemsToCount, (trans)=> trans &": " & Text.From(List.Count(List.Select(tbl[Column4],each _ = trans)))), ", ")
                in 
                    CountItems
            }
        }
    )
in
    #"Grouped Rows"

Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

Hi, @Mamr 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

You may create a measure as below.

Result = 
var cm = 
COALESCE(
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Table',
            [WoType]="CM"
        )
    ),0
)
var pm = 
COALESCE(
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Table',
            [WoType]="PM"
        )
    ),0
)
var tob = 
COALESCE(
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            'Table',
            [WoType]="TOB"
        )
    ),0
)
return
"CM:"&cm&" PM:"&pm&" TOB:"&tob

Result:

Best Regards

Hi shawou459 , thank you for your reply, here is a screenshoot for my power bi desktop interface.

@Mamr , DAX is born for such a statistical job. It's only a matter of several drag-n-drop into a matrix viz. It takes 10 seconds only; then you can sit back and relax...

Hi @Mamr , could you post some sample data?
