Hi,
I have a table with disinct list of entities. Each entitiy is represented by two more columns which each describe a year.
This is what the table basically looks like:
Entity Year1 Year2
1 2020 2020
2 2021 2022
3 2021 2021
... ... ...
I would now like to count how often a year apperas in the column "Year1" and how often a year appears in column "Year2" and display this in a new table that could look like this:
Year Amount in "Year1" Amount in "Year2"
2020 1 1
2021 2 1
2022 0 1
Really appreciate your help!
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this code to add a new table with DAX:
Table 2 =
VAR _A =
VALUES ( 'Table'[Year1] )
VAR _B =
EXCEPT ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Year2] ), _A )
VAR _C =
SELECTCOLUMNS ( UNION ( _A, _B ), "Year", [Year1] )
RETURN
ADDCOLUMNS (
_C,
"Year1",
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Year1] = EARLIER ( [Year] ) )
) + 0,
"Year2",
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Year2] = EARLIER ( [Year] ) )
) + 0
)

@SteffenSchulze I would now like to count how often a year apperas in the column - do you have a seperate table for year?
Yes, I do have a separate table with year.
@SteffenSchulze spare more deatils? Are those two tables related? How?
