Multiple row and Column Add up (Remove Duplicates)

Altonga — Tue, 06 Dec 2022 11:41:41 GMT

I am currently working on a project using a grading system and want to display total% of an individuals skillset. The grading system works using the below image (I've only used my own test ID but in the data set it is showing all 930).

Scenario 1 = 10%, Scenario 2 = 20%, Scenario 3 = 30% and Task 1 + Task 2 both give 20% each resulting in the individual being 100% trained. The main issue with this is that the user can have multiple entries for each header, resulting in the total% being over 100% in some cases.

Is there a measure that can be implemented to just look at each of these columns and just take one entry from each and ignore duplicates while adding up to a max of 100%? Happy to give more details.

Hi Altonga
You can try the following

%Trained = MAX ( 'Table'[Scenario1%] ) + MAX ( 'Table'[Scenario2%] ) + MAX ( 'Table'[Scenario3%] ) + MAX ( 'Table'[Task1%] ) + MAX ( 'Table'[Task1%] )

Hi tamerj1,

Thank you so much for your reply, this worked perfectly! I have noticed that it has affected one of my other visuals which I was showing a top level view for the training records. Please see below. (The top visual.)

Is there a way to make the data from the previous solution work in such a view?

Hi tamerj1 , So If there was some way to use the data created from the measure you helped me with before to display on a visual somewhat to the above image? Showing the number of indiviuals who have acheived either 10%, 20% and so on. Apologise if not clear I'm having a hard time explaining it myself haha.

Hi Altonga

manually insert a single column table that contains the values you want to slice by, for example 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, etc.. let's call it Scores[Score]. This single column table shall remain disconnected from the main table or sny other table you have in your data model.
now you can use the following measure in a stacked column column chart were Scores[Score] is on the x-axis and the subject is on the legend

SMX ( IF [%Trained] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Scores[Score] ), 1 )
