Good afternoon,
I am not able to complete one of my needed measures.
My direct query table contains this structure:
| users | steps |
| 1 | NEW |
| 1 | NEW |
| 1 | NEW |
| 2 | OLD |
| 2 | OLD |
| 3 | OLD |
| 4 | EQUAL |
| 5 | EQUAL |
| 6 | EQUAL |
I need a measure to distincount the number of users that has 3 times "NEW" in the "step" column.
I am not able to create a calculated column because I am working with Direct Query.
Right now, the furthest that I have got is creating a variable table where seems like this:
VAR tabla =
| users | nº values = NEW in steps |
| 1 | 3 |
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 0 |
| 4 | 0 |
| 5 | 0 |
| 6 | 0 |
I would like to have this measure to be equal = 1
Thank you in advance 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
Count the number of rows where "nº values" is three or greater.
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( tabla, [nº values] >= 3 ) )
Hi, @Anonymous
Please try the below for creating a new table.
VAR Tables =
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( 'Table'[users] ),
"@values",
CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[users] ), 'Table'[steps] = "NEW" ) + 0
)

Thanks for your quick answer Jihwan.
The thing here is that I didn´t want to create a new table, just a variable table.
Thank you anyways 🙂
Count the number of rows where "nº values" is three or greater.
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( tabla, [nº values] >= 3 ) )
🤣🤣🤣I just want to scream
I've been toying with several options, I didn't think about this possibility.
Thanks a lot.
There are plenty of other ways to do it too. E.g.
SUMX ( tabla, IF ( [nº values] >= 3, 1, 0 ) )
