Filterable Count with Label

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 14:44:44 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to create a shape map visual based on a 3 digit zip. The 3 digit zip is a created column based on the full zip code, so each 3 digit zip can repeat many times throughout the data. I've mocked up a sample dataset below with the key fields. There are more fields in the actual dataset that act as filters on the page as well.

ShippingPostal	ShippingPostal_Substring	Id
12333	123	3wer
12345	123	1111
12346	123	111a
12347	123	2345
12361	123	q234
12399	123	d43a
15533	155	342a
15644	156	4rfd
15678	156	678s
19811	134	a321
19834	198	df34
19845	198	f4er
19856	124	5432
19870	198	1234
13423	134	u890

I need to group by each ShippingPostal_Substring and take a count of Id (or rowcount based on ShippingPostal_Substring).

ShippingPostal_Substring	CountOfId
123	6
156	2
198	5
155	1
134	1

Once I have the count I need to create a label based on the count value (<2, 2-5, >=5).

ShippingPostal_Substring	CountOfId	Label
123	6	>=5
156	2	2-5
198	5	>=5
155	1	<2
134	1	<2

The problem that I'm running into is I need the label to be a column because it is acting as the legend in my map. I can get this all to work using measures, but that doesn't help me with the visual.

I have tried using the Group By functionality in the query editor, but this gives a static count value and I need the count to update based on the filters applied on the page. The label likewise must update as filters are applied. If the count value started at 6 with no filters applied and the filters dropped the count down to 3, I need the map to display the filtered count of 3 with a label of "2-5", not 6 with a label of ">=5".

I have tried to create a calculated column for the count and put it into a table visual, let's call it [Count123]. If the field is left as "Don't Summarize", [Count123] shows as 1 for every PostalShipping_Substring; if the field is set to "Sum", the count displays correctly. Example of what I see from the table visual is below:

ShippingPostal_Substring

Count123

(Don't Summarize)

Count123

(Sum)

198

Total

I have not been able to create a column that correctly counts the Id's that can then have a label correctly applied to it. The fact that the label has to be a column to work in the map visual is what is tripping me up.

Any suggestions of how to create a dynamic count with a column label that updates based on filters and slicers on the page would be very much appreciated.

Column values are loaded at first load only they can't be changed based on applied filters.

For dynamic calculations you need to use measures only.
