    Hi,

    I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

    Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

     

     

     

     

     

    Order count: = 
SUMX (
    VALUES ( Fruit[Fruit] ),
    COUNTROWS (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            FILTER (
                SUMMARIZE ( Data, Data[Customer  ID], Data[Order Date], Data[quantity] ),
                Data[quantity] > 0
            )
        )
    )
)

Hi warabimochi 

To calculate the total OrderCount for each fruit in Power BI using DAX, you can create a calculated measure or a calculated column depending on how you want to aggregate the data.

1. Create a Measure

If you want to dynamically calculate the total OrderCount for each fruit when visualized, you can use the following DAX formula:

 

Total OrderCount = SUM('Table'[OrderCount])

 

This measure will sum up the Or

derCount column for all rows in your table. When you create a visual (e.g., a bar chart or table), place Fruit on the axis and this measure in the values to see the totals grouped by fruit.

2. Create a Calculated Column (if needed)

If you want to calculate the total OrderCount for each fruit within the table itself, you can use this formula in a calculated column:

 

Total OrderCount by Fruit = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM('Table'[OrderCount]),
    ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Fruit])
)

 

This will create a column where the total OrderCount for each fruit is shown for every row corresponding to that fruit.

3. Create a Summary Table (Optional)

If you'd like to create a summary table displaying only the fruit and their respective OrderCount, you can use the following DAX to create a new table:

 

Fruit Order Summary = 
SUMMARIZE(
    'Table',
    'Table'[Fruit],
    "Total OrderCount", SUM('Table'[OrderCount])
)

 

This creates a new table where each row contains a unique fruit and its total OrderCount.

Expected Output

With the given dataset, the output would be:

Fruit Total OrderCount

Orange3
Banana4
Apple4
