Sales orders that contain apples Y/N

Anonymous — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 00:23:59 GMT

Hi,

What is the column or measure formula to generate the Y or N in the 'Does the order contain apples' column? Using a DirectQuery model.

OrderID	Item	Does the order contain apples?
001	Apples	Y
001	Brocolli	Y
002	Pears	Y
002	Apples	Y
002	Bananas	Y
003	Bananas	N
003	Pears	N
004	Apples	Y

Thanks for your help.

Hi Anonymous
Please try

contain apples = IF ( "Apple" IN CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Item] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[OrderID] ) ), "Y", "N" )

NewColumn=IF(COUNTROWS(FILTER(Table,Table[Item]="Apples"&&Table[OrderID]=EARLIER(Table[OrderID])))>0,"Y","N")

Hi, thanks for your reply, unfortunately I get an error when I try that - 'EARLIER/EARLIEST refers to an earlier row context which doesn't exist'.

Hi tamerj1, thanks for your reply. I've inputted that formula and it doesn't error, but then when I try and add it to my table it says 'Can't display the visual' - I'm using a Direct Query model if that makes a difference?

If you are creating a measure, then please clarify the existing filter context.

my code is to create a calculated column, not a measure

if to create a measure, try this

=IF(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[Item]="Apples",ALLEXCEPT(Table,Table[OrderID]))>0,"Y","N")

Hi, when I tried the original formula as a column, it said 'Function 'COUNTROWS' is not allowed as part of calculated column DAX expressions on DirectQuery models', and the latter formula as a measure it doesn't error when creating it but says 'can't display the visual' when I add it to a table. Sorry I should of mentioned in my original post I'm using Direct Query, I'll add that in now. So I'm not sure if there is a solve for this using DAX, maybe only SQL?

Hi, If I use your formula for a column it says 'Function 'CONTAINSROW' is not allowed as part of calculated column DAX expressions on DirectQuery models' which is odd since 'CONTAINSROW' is not actually in the formula.

Re: filter context, I'm not sure if I understand the question sorry - I have a date filter applied, but I want this formula to ignore all filters.
