Need to compare multiple rows in the same table

alepagg — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 09:42:53 GMT

Hello,

I need help with this problem. I have a table like this:
BRAND | CUSTOMER | VALUE
A | X | 1

A | Y | 1

B | X | 2

B | Y | 0

C | X | 1

C | Y | 1

C | Z | 0

Brand is a slicer in my page. Based on the combination of brands the user selects, I need to return a table which shows only the customer with a positive value (>0) for each and every selected Brand.

For example, if A & B are selected, the result should be:
CUSTOMER | VALUE

X | 3

While if A & C are selected:
X | 2
Y | 2

Eventually, I need to create measures to count the number of customers active in multiple brands, and the total value they generate.

Thank you,

alepagg

Hi,

Here is one way to do this:

Create the following measure:

Filter for above 0 = IF(MAX('Table (24)'[Value])>0,1,0)

Place is as a filter like this:

Now the slicer works as you described:

Hi Valtteri,

thanks for your prompt reply but I think it doesn't fully cover my need.

Back to my example, when the user selects both A & B brands, the only customer that shows positive value for both brands is X. Therefore, the outcome measure or table should be only:
X | 3
While customer Y should be excluded since it is positive for brand A but not positive for brand B.

Hi alepagg ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2) We can create a measure.

Flag = var _table=CALCULATETABLE(VALUES('Table'[CUSTOMER]),'Table'[VALUE]<=0) RETURN IF( not MAX('Table'[CUSTOMER]) in _table,1,0)

(3) Place [Flag=1] on the visual object screening and then the result is as follows.

Hi Neeko,

Thanks a lot for your help! Your solution does work!

However, my real scenario is quite complex and it's hard to replicate your proposal to my dashboard. Maybe you know how to use the Flag to calculate a measure
- the number of Customers active in multiple Brands
- the total value generated by the above Customers

Thank you,

Alessandro

Hi alepagg ,

You can use the COUNTROWS() function to count the number of Customers active in multiple Brands.

You can use the SUMX() function to calculate the total value generated by the above Customers.

For more details, refer: COUNTROWS function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn

SUMX function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Learn
