Conditional Column based on Multiple Columns
Hi all,
I am trying to create a 'Requirement Met' column that indicates when a program meets atleast 3/5 attributes.
I have 5 attribute columns, and 1 requirement met column. If atleast three attributes are met then, the requirement met column should show yes, otherwise it should show no.
Here is a picture of the data:
Thank you for your help!
Hi indigodiv ,
I created a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether that is what you want. You can create a calculated column as below:
Requirement Met? = VAR _count = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Attribute 1] ), 'Table'[Attribute 1] = "Yes" ) + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Attribute 2] ), 'Table'[Attribute 2] = "Yes" ) + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Attribute 3] ), 'Table'[Attribute 3] = "Yes" ) + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Attribute 4] ), 'Table'[Attribute 4] = "Yes" ) + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Attribute 5] ), 'Table'[Attribute 5] = "Yes" ) RETURN IF ( _count >= 3, "Yes", "No" )If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. You can refer the following link to upload the file to the community. Thank you.

In Power Query, you can add a column which turns the columns into a list, similar to this:
{[Column1],[Column2],[Column3],[Column4]}You can pass that to List.Select( the list, each _ = "Yes") .
And you can wrap that with List.Count and test it against the required total.
I've left it for you to put it together.
