Counting blank fields based on another column

[mgaut341]

I am trying to count how many blank cells I have in my 'status' column when my 'appt date/time' field has a value in the cell. I have tried the following formula

CALCULATE(COUNT('CCHHS Imaging & Procedure'[Appt Date/Time]), FILTER('CCHHS Imaging & Procedure','CCHHS Imaging & Procedure'[Status]=""))

but it gives me the total number of blanks in the Status column regardless of if the Appt Date/Time column has a value

Hi @mgaut341 please try this

Blank Status with Appt =

CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS('Sheet4'),

    NOT(ISBLANK('Sheet4'[Appt Date/Time])),

    ISBLANK('Sheet4'[Status])

)

[mgaut341]

That shows up as 0, not the 77 I am looking for

ok, create this calculated column to see the field is blank

Status Debug =
IF(
ISBLANK('Sheet4'[Status]),
"True Blank",
"[" & 'Sheet4'[Status] & "] LEN=" & LEN('Sheet4'[Status])
)

[mgaut341]

This is my result

ok please try this

Blank Status with Appt =

CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS('Sheet4'),

    FILTER(

        'Sheet4',

        NOT(ISBLANK('Sheet4'[Appt Date/Time])) &&

        LEN(TRIM('Sheet4'[Status])) = 0

    )

)

Sadly that doesn't give me the correct answer

Thank you.

Hi @mgaut341 ,

To count how many rows have a blank Status while the Appt Date/Time is not blank, you need to use COUNTROWS with a FILTER that checks both conditions. Your current formula only checks if Status is blank, which includes rows even when Appt Date/Time is also blank. The correct DAX formula is:

CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('CCHHS Imaging & Procedure'),
    FILTER(
        'CCHHS Imaging & Procedure',
        NOT(ISBLANK('CCHHS Imaging & Procedure'[Appt Date/Time])) &&
        ISBLANK('CCHHS Imaging & Procedure'[Status])
    )
)

This will return the number of rows where Status is blank and Appt Date/Time has a value.

Best regards,

Unfortunately, that tells me I have 0 blank cells which is not accurate as I have 76
