Count a frequency measure
I have a measure which counts the number of transactions per id within a timeframe (from slicer):
mFrequency = IF(DISTINCTCOUNT(RPT_FACTORDER[TRANSACTION_NUMBER]) = BLANK(), 0,
IF(DISTINCTCOUNT(RPT_FACTORDER[TRANSACTION_NUMBER]) = 1, 1,
IF(DISTINCTCOUNT(RPT_FACTORDER[TRANSACTION_NUMBER]) = 2, 2,
IF(DISTINCTCOUNT(RPT_FACTORDER[TRANSACTION_NUMBER]) = 3, 3, 4))))
Which gets me output like this:
Id mFrequency
111 1
222 1
333 3
444 2
555 1
Now I need to count up the measure (mFrequency) to get results which look like this, and change based on the slicer timeframe:
mFrequency Count
1 3
2 1
3 1
4 0
I'm new to Power BI. Help is appreciated. Thanks.
Hi,
since you need frequency on the axis, you need to add a stand-alone table with the neccessary values. And based on those values, count the number of IDs with corresponding frequency.
This measure would look like thisMeasure = VAR _count = COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ADDCOLUMNS ( VALUES ( 'Table'[id] ); "@freq"; VAR _trans = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[transactions] ) ) RETURN IF ( _trans > 3; 4; _trans ) ); [@freq] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Frequency[F] ) ) ) RETURN IF ( ISBLANK ( _count ); 0; _count )Since you have not provided any data or sample report, I have created a mockup dataset and created a demo report based on that dataset: pbix
cheers,
