Hi Anonymous

Unfortunately it is impossible to give you a correct advice without example of your data model.

But I will try. If you have a simple table like

Product	Stage	Drop-Down
A	Stage 1	not started
A	Stage 1	on progress
A	Stage 2	completed
B	Stage 2	not started
B	Stage 2	on progress
C	Stage 3	completed

so, there is no some more easy way then to create a Matrix visual,

add Stage field as Columns,

Drop-Down field as Rows,

Product field add as Value, then pres narrow near product and choose count

then go to the Format sectin and disable row subtotals:

Thanks alot az38 for quick reply ,,,

let mak it more clear, i will present the same table :

Product Type	Product Nam	BS Stage	RD Stage	Analyses Stage	Development Stage	Quarter
P	moon	in progress	in progress	completed	in progress	Q1
S	Car	completed	completed	completed	completed	Q2
E	AB	wating	in progress	completed	in progress	Q3
P	DC	Hold	completed	in progress	Hold	Q4
S	LM	completed	Hold	in progress	in progress	Q5

As you see the stages is clumns "BC Stage, RD stage ,,,,," , and every stage there is 3 status " inprogross, Complated, Hold, Waiting".

So we do start by product tyep " As oyu see we do have 3 P,S,E". And product name then stages for every product

So, Anonymous

you can, for example create a new calculated dimension table like

dimDropDown = UNION( SELECTCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Table'[Analyses Stage]);"dropDown";[Analyses Stage]); SELECTCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Table'[BS Stage]);"dropDown";[BS Stage]); SELECTCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Table'[Development Stage]);"dropDown";[Development Stage]); SELECTCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Table'[RD Stage]);"dropDown";[RD Stage]) )

then add to this new tables your 6 columns:

AnalysesStageCount = calculate(countrows('Table');'Table'[Analyses Stage]=EARLIER(dimDropDown[dropDown]))

BSStageCount = calculate(countrows('Table');'Table'[BS Stage]=EARLIER(dimDropDown[dropDown]))

and so on..

then just add it to the visual Matrix

az38 am trying to implement your soliton and stoped here showing Error

SELECTCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('BS Road Map'[BC]);"dropDown";[BC]);

what you mean by "dropDown"

The error massage : [unexcpected exepression]

It’s just a new column name.
So, there could be 2 problems: first replace double quotas “ to ordinary ‘
Second, replace all ; to commas ,
Third, try both solutions 🙂 it is a system locale question

Hi Anonymous
Do you try to add column or measure? Need a column. Do you try to add it to new table?
