Helper IICounting specific words on a string (in DAX)
Hello,
In Power BI, I have a table with a column called Status that combines different words with 4 characters. I need to count how many times each of these 4 character words appears in the Status column. I need to do it in DAX and not in Power Query because i got the column status after other calculations in DAX. Thank you for your help!
For example
RERE= 4
BABA= 3
WEWE = 2
STST= 2
(Empty)=1
| STATUS |
|
RERE, WEWE |
RERE, BABA |
RERE, BABA,STST |
RERE, BABA,STST,WEWE |
Luzadriana255 Try:
Measure = VAR __Status = MAX('Table2'[STATUS]) VAR __Len1 = LEN(__Status) VAR __String = CONCATENATEX('Table',[STATUS],",") VAR __Len2 = LEN(__String) VAR __String2 = SUBSTITUTE(__String, __Status, "") VAR __Len3 = LEN(__String2) VAR __Num = DIVIDE(__Len2 - __Len3, __Len1) VAR __Result = IF(__Status = "", COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[STATUS] = "")),__Num) RETURN __ResultPBIX is attached below signature.

Luzadriana255Greg_Deckler thank you for your answer, unfortunately I get the same amount for all the words and that is not the right value. I was thinking to use other table where I write all the individual values. However I am not sure how to combine that. Do you have an Idea how to do it combinining the two tables? Thank you
Individual Status
RERE
BABA
STST
WEWE

Luzadriana255 Did you download and review the attached PBIX? Because it works there. I implemented the individual statuses as a disconnected table (in my PBIX Table2) Table2 status column is used in the visual along with the measure.
