trying to do a count if there is more than once value next to a persons name

Hi All

Very new to power bi. I am trying to do a count, if formula where a student has a achievement categorie next to their name at least once, the formula will say yes no. for example:

Name	Achievement Type	Count for Enrichment Type is more than once for culture
BOB	Enrichment - Culture	YES
BOB	Enrichment - Culture	YES
JENNY	Enrichment - Culture	YES
JENNY	Enrichment - Culture	YES

basically a count then if more than 0 say yes.

Does anymore know how this can be done?

HI emcarwardine

Try to add a new column with DAX like this:

Count for Enrichment = IF('Table'[Achievement Type]<>blank(),"Yes","No")

thanks for the swift response - will this look at the students name also? So in english not a formular I need (best way for me to explain sorry!)

if "bob" has "enrichment - culture" more then 1 time, say "yes"

Hope that makes sense!

Oh Ok, try this then:

Count for Enrichment = IF ( CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Name] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Name] ) && 'Table'[Achievement Type] = "Enrichment - Culture" ) ) > 1, "Yes", "No" )

Output:
