Measure to count across multiple columns
I am new to Power BI - DAX functions.
I have three columns in a table with text in it and I have added a fourth column where I want the count of these three but when I use COUNTA, COUNTX or COUNTAX measure I am getting the count of the entire column.
COUNTA
COUNTAX
COUNTX
Column = COUNTX(Table1, Table1[First_Amendment])
+ COUNTX(Table1, Table1[Second_Amendment])
+ COUNTX(Table1, Table1[Third_Amendment])
Suppose column A, B, C contains three names, apple, mango, oranges respectively so in fourth column I should get count as 3.

In what cases would you not get 3? Are some of the rows blank?

Did you want to count no blank column based on row, right?
If so, you could try to use calculated column like below
Column = if((countaa[a])="",0,1)+if((countaa[b])="",0,1)+if((countaa[c])="",0,1)
You also could refer to this post for details.
