Counting the results of a measure

Our sales team have lots of sales plans.  To identify open plans I created a measure to evalute for a null or future end date.

I then want to list out each sales team member and a count of their open plans.

However, when I add the measure to the table visual a "count" is not an option.

Where have I gone wrong and how can I produce a count?

 

Measure:

Open Assignment = var date1=SELECTEDVALUE(v_account_HT_solicitor[ASSIGNMENT END DATE])
Return
If(ISBLANK(date1) || date1>TODAY(), 1,0)
 
Plan Table
   Sales Person     Plan ID     Plan End Date  
Jane1 
Jane25/1/2024

Sales Person Table
   Sales Person

Hi, @geoffgarcia 

 

You can try the following methods.

Open Assignment = Var date1=SELECTEDVALUE('Plan Table'[Plan End Date])
Return
If(ISBLANK(date1) || date1>TODAY(), 1,0)
Count person Measure = 
Var _table=SUMMARIZE('Plan Table',[Sales Person],[Plan ID],"M",[Open Assignment])
Return
COUNTX(_table,[M])

Is this the result you expect?

You cannot measure a measure.  Instead, create a new measure that incorporates the entire business logic including the counting part.
