Count Rows of a Visual Table

[barragan82]

Hi all,

In the example below, I am trying to create a measure that counts the number of rows of this specific visual table, not of the rows of data in the table "behind the scenes." Specifically, I am trying to identify/count that we have a total of eight (8) for the EMAIL ADDRESS column. DISTINCTCOUNT gives me a result of 2 while COUNTROWS gives me a result of 11. I would appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

It looks like the number of rows is determined by unique combinations of EMAIL ADDRESS, ARTIFACT SUBMISSION, and COURSE.

Assuming these are all columns of a single table named Table1, I'd expect something like this to work:

COUNTROWS (
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
        Table1[EMAIL ADDRESS],
        Table1[ARTIFACT SUBMISSION],
        Table1[COURSE]
    )
)

If you are asking what I think you are asking, there might be a simpler solution for you. 
The short version is create a measure like this and add it to your table:
RowsDisplayed_TotalOnly = IF(ISINSCOPE('DataTableName'[PrimaryKeyFieldName]), " ", COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED('DataTableName')))

For more details on usage and why it works, see my recent comment on Solved: How to display the count of the rows in a table vi... - Microsoft Fabric Community.

Thank you, @BonnieW! I'll keep this in mind the next time I need this function.

There is a solution for that using Python Visual. It is a solution that fits even if you use field parameters in your table.

Hi @barragan82,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @AlexisOlson  for your input on this issue. 
 
After reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, I have used it as sample data on my end and implemented it.   

Dax Measure:   

Row Visual Count = 
IF(
    ISINSCOPE('Instructors'[EMAIL ADDRESS]) && ISINSCOPE('Instructors'[COURSE]),
    1,
    COUNTROWS(
        SUMMARIZE(
            'Instructors',
            'Instructors'[EMAIL ADDRESS],
            'Instructors'[COURSE]
        )
    )
)

That did exactly what I needed. Thank you.
