Multiple CountIf function in Power Query

Hello everyone,

I would like to enforce a countif function in from a data source I have.

There are multiple columns containing a "Yes", "No" data. Is there a way I can enforce a countif function using Power Query?


Thanks!

    Please try the following code, I have added two columns as requested:

     



    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnEMcVTSwUbF6sBl/fxhBLoMsgKIXCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "1st Two Columns", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,{"Column1","Column2"})), each _ =  "NO"))),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "2nd Two Columns", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(Record.SelectFields(_,{"Column3","Column4"})), each _ =  "NO")))
in
    #"Added Custom1"

      Hi Fowmy ,

      Since the data is confidential, I have sent a modified excel file for you to have a look at it. FYI, data that I'm using comes from a Sharepoint list connected to Excel.

      What I would like to achieve is a COUNTIF Function on columns. If any of these columns contains a "No", then it should count as 1.

       



      I don't think conditional formatting column works because it doesn't seem to count the next column after that. I have thought of using excel formula but it would be easier if I can achieve this in Power Query itself.

      Thanks!

        Try this in a blank query and you can copy the following code in blank query and check the steps.

         

        let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnEMcVTSwUbF6sBl/fxhBLoMsgKIXCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "New Col", each List.Count(List.Select(Record.ToList(_), each _ =  "NO")))
in
    #"Added Custom"

    Hello Anonymous 

     

    you can make a countif with Table.RowsCount and Table.SelectRows. Basically first filter the table and then count the rows.

    this code would look like this

    CountIf = Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(PreviousStep, each [A]="yes" and [B]="yes" and [C]="no"))

     

    Here the complete example

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WqkwtVtKBknn5SrE60QgOXATGRlOCIOGKUIXQDY8FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [A = _t, B = _t, C = _t]),
    PreviousStep = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"A", type text}, {"B", type text}, {"C", type text}}), 
    CountIf = Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(PreviousStep, each [A]="yes" and [B]="yes" and [C]="no"))
in
    CountIf

     

    Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.
