florguilla_0-1720281427813.png

I need to count the number of people who have "ESTADO": "AUTORIZADO", "EN PROCESO", ETC. 
"estado" is a calculated measure:

ESTADO =
VAR CONDICIONN =
[AUTORIZADOS máx. por Lockout/Tagout - Authorized Person]+[AWARENESS máx]+ [TEST ONLINE]+[SKILLS]

RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    CONDICIONN >= 4, "AUTORIZADO",
    CONDICIONN = 3, "EN PROCESO",
    CONDICIONN = 2, "EN PROCESO",
    CONDICIONN <= 1, "NO AUTORI"
)
Can anybody help me?

Hi @florguilla ,

 

You can modify your formula like below to create calculated column, then create measures. You can refer to blew demo:

ESTADO = 
VAR CONDICIONN =
    [AUTORIZADOS máx. por Lockout/Tagout - Authorized Person] + 
    [AWARENESS máx] + 
    [TEST ONLINE] + 
    [SKILLS]
RETURN
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        CONDICIONN >= 4, "AUTORIZADO",
        CONDICIONN = 3, "EN PROCESO",
        CONDICIONN = 2, "EN PROCESO",
        CONDICIONN <= 1, "NO AUTORI"
    )

Count AUTORIZADO = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('YourTable'),
    'YourTable'[ESTADO] = "AUTORIZADO"
)
Count EN PROCESO = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('YourTable'),
    'YourTable'[ESTADO] = "EN PROCESO"
)
Count NO AUTORI = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('YourTable'),
    'YourTable'[ESTADO] = "NO AUTORI"
)
