Converting SQL into DAX...

Hi,

I have written the sql query below

SELECT count(job_id) FROM (SELECT distinct job_id,status,DENSE_RANK over() partition by job_id order by timestamp desc AS rn FROM table1) t2 WHERE t2.rn = 1 and where t2.status = "PAUSED"

to get the number of paused jobs by getting the latest status of the each job_id. I have duplicate values in the table, so I can't use LASTDATE and MAX also didn't work to get the correct result.

 

Convert SQL query into DAX query for PowerBI visual - Stack Overflow

 

this is my question posted in StackOverflow.

the solutions I got don't meet my requirements 100%

Just wondering if anyone knows how to convert that sql query to DAX.

 

I'm doing this in direct query mode so there are some limitations as well..

thanks in advance!

Hi @yjk3140 
Final solution is as follows

 

 

Paused Jobs =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( 'table1'[job_id] ),
    VAR MaxDate =
        CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'table1'[datetime1] ) )
    VAR LastRecord =
        FILTER (
            CALCULATETABLE ( 'table1' ),
            'table1'[datetime1] = MaxDate
                && 'table1'[job_active_status] = "PAUSED"
        )
    VAR Result =
        IF ( NOT ISEMPTY ( LastRecord ), 1 )
    RETURN
        Result
)

@Anonymous 
Ok, please try

CASH_IPD =
COUNTROWS (
    CALCULATETABLE (
        SUMMARIZE (
            BI_OSR_Revenues,
            BI_OSR_Revenues[Encounter_No],
            BI_OSR_Revenues[Payment_TypeName],
            BI_OSR_Revenues[InvoiceNo]
        ),
        BI_OSR_Revenues[Tran_Month] = 3,
        BI_OSR_Revenues[Tran_Year] = 2022,
        BI_OSR_Revenues[Payment_TypeName] = "CASH (IPD)",
        NOT ISBLANK ( BI_OSR_Revenues[admission_Date] )
    )
)

Hi @tamerj1 , 

I tried to use this query below to count the # of the jobs

Paused Jobs =
VAR MaxDate =
        CALCULATE(MAX ( 'table1'[timestamp] ))
VAR LastRecord =
        CALCULATETABLE ( 'table1', 'table1'[timestamp] = MaxDate )
VAR LastStatus =
        MAXX ( LastRecord, 'table1[job_status] )
VAR countid = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT(table1[job_id]), LastStatus = "PUASED")
 RETURN countid
 
and it's throwing the error below
The True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table filter expression must refer to exactly one column
 
How can I fix it? 😕
