Counting Strings Returned from an Iterating Measure

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help.

I know columns (DAX or M) are not dynamic so in this situation I have opted to write three DAX measures to ensure my report output is always correct, regardless of when it was last refreshed however, I cannot get the 'Fails' to count.

Example - Fails card should show 12, but instead is 'Blank'

Here are the measures used in the above visual.

[E2E SLA] - calculates the working days between 2 dates (Case Opened/Case Closed ) or returns null if the case is still open

E2E SLA = SUMX( 'All Cases', COUNTROWS( FILTER( 'Date Table Static', 'Date Table Static'[Date] >= 'All Cases'[Case Created Date] && 'Date Table Static'[Date] <= IF(ISBLANK('All Cases'[Case Closed Date]), TODAY(), 'All Cases'[Case Closed Date]) && 'Date Table Static'[Is Business Day] = TRUE() ) ) )-1

[SLA Result] compares the above number of days to the target, and assigns labels 'Pass' or 'Fail' if it the case was completed in time.

SLA Result = IF( ISBLANK(MAX('All Cases'[Case Closed Date])), BLANK(), IF( [E2E SLA] > MAX('All Cases'[SLA Target]), "Fail", "Pass" ) )

In the card visuals:-

[SLA Count Pass] is working perfectly.

SLA Count Pass = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('All Cases'), FILTER( 'All Cases', 'All Cases'[SLA Result] = "Pass" ) )

[SLA Count Fail] returns 'Blank' even though there are 12 rows where the [SLA Result] is 'Fail'

SLA Count Fail = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('All Cases'), FILTER( 'All Cases', 'All Cases'[SLA Result] = "Fail" ) )

I've tested everything I can think of, but it appears to be that whatever string is in the 1st position of the [SLA Result] measure, I can't count or filter by it ☹️

Any help greatly appreciated

Hi vickyw

There aren't any syntax error in this measure.
Actually that I create some sample data and test it, but unfortunately, the measure works fine in my side.

Please check if you apply some filter on the [SLA Result] measure?

If possible, please share your PBIX file(exclude sensitive data), so that we can help you better.
