I am trying to make a chart with some of the same dates and each date equals 1. I want to combine the same dates and have it add them all up.

EXAMPLE:

1/1/18
1/1/18
1/1/18
1/2/18
1/2/18

So I want to combine the dates into a chart row and the column be the number of date's combined (1/1/18 = 3)

with PowerQuery aka Get&Transform
Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"date", type date}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"date"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(_), type number}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"[/SIZE]
