Hello @glandrum,

If you need to count how many times specific values appear in a SharePoint choice column and then update another list based on those counts, you can use Power Automate's union() function along with filtering and iterating logic to achieve this efficiently.

Seps to Count Unique Values and Update a SharePoint List in Power Automate:

1. Get Items from SharePoint.
2. On Select action select the choice column value.
3. Use union() to get distinct values from the choice column.

union(body('Select'), body('Select'))

4. Loop through the unique values.
5. Filter the items for each unique value and count how many match.

@equals(item()?['ChoiceColumnName/Value'], items('Apply_to_each'))

6. Add compose to store the length

length(body('Filter_array'))

6. Update the target list with the counts.

Output:
