Hi experts,
I have a large dataset that looks (simplified!) like this:
For diseases, 0 = no disease and 1 = disease.
What I want to show is prevalence by cohort i.e., incidence / Total # participants in particular cohort.
I also want to keep the Participant Number so I can later slice by gender age etc from a dimension table.
I have played around with unpivoting the Disease columns and can calculate total incidence, but am not able to get prevalence to work on a visual (it always comes out at 100%).
My DAX was simply:
Total Incidence = COUNTROWS('Table')
Total Distinct Participants = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Participant Number])
Prevalence = DIVIDE([Total Incidence],[Total Distinct Participants])
Whilst this work in card visuals and can be filtered by cohort, it doesn't work on a bar chart to show by condition:
(Condition is the name of the unpivoted column).
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Best,
Soph
