How to create a filter with count

clo_64 — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 19:48:29 GMT

I would like to create a short table showing how much customers have bought how much product,s and I'm struggling getting the COUNT or COUNTROWS working as an expression within CALCULATE/CALCULATETABLE.

Here my table :

And would like to get:
Nbr of Products Nbr of Customers
1 3
2 2

How do I do that with DAX?
Thanks

Hi,

Coulld you explain why you have 2 2 on the second line of your output? Shouldn't it be 2 1, as only the customer Gamma has bought 2 products?

Best regards.

Hi clo_64,

I think I got to a solution:

Here the DAX:

New Table = 
VAR _helpTable =
SUMMARIZE (
    TableCustomerProduct,
    TableCustomerProduct[Customer],
    "Nbr of Products", DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableCustomerProduct[Product] )
)
RETURN
SUMMARIZE (
    _helpTable,
    [Nbr of Products],
    "Nbr of Customers",
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'TableCustomerProduct'[Customer] ),
        FILTER (
            VALUES ( 'TableCustomerProduct'[Customer] ),
            CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableCustomerProduct[Product] ) ) = [Nbr of Products]
        )
    )
)

The _helpTable does a grouping on customer with a distinct count on product. The return statement uses the Number of Products from the _helptable combined with a "having clause" in order to retrieve the number of customers per number of products

Let me know if this helps 🙂
