Constant Column for Table Based on Measure
Hello! I am trying to create a table below in Direct Query mode and am struggling with the last step. I am trying to count the number of items in a table based on status and want to have another column (Count 2) with constant value based on the 'Status' column.
I have tried CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[Status] = "A")) and a few other variations but the rows in Status B and C are always 0.
Can someone please help on this?
| Status | Count 1 | Count 2 |
| A | Count number items with Status A | Count number items with Status A |
| B | Count number of items with Status B | Count number of items with Status A |
| C | Count number of items with Status C | Count number of items with Status A |
you mean with measure? you can try to create with two measures with such code:
Count1 = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ) ),
Count2 = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ), TableName[Status] = "A" )try to plot a Table Visual, with Status column and the two measures.

what do you mean by "constant value based on the 'Status' column."?

aha, then try to create a new table with the code below:
Table =ADDCOLUMNS(VALUES( TableName[Status] ),"Count1",CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ) ),"Count2"CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ), TableName[Status] = "A" ))

Do you need the FILTER statement for something? Try removing it and seeing what the output is.
The current problem is the rows of the table already apply a filter that you won't see in the DAX formula. So in the row with status B, your formula will calculate no values with status = A. Not sure if that made sense, but I hope it helps.
