DAX formula - How to turn count summarization to negative value in a stacked column visual

[pradeepksahoo]

I am trying to create a stacked column in BI. However, I would like one of the category values - in this case, the count of stage value of 0-Waiting to be shown in -ve. In other words, for Jan, Mar, Apr - the values of 2, 2, 1 should be -2, -2, -1.

Appreciate any help with DAX query or any other approach of how I can achieve in Power BI. Thanks in advance

An example in excel with data is shown below

Item	Month	State	Stage
1	Jan-21	In Process	0-Waiting
2	Jan-21	In Process	1-Started
3	Jan-21	Completed	2-Final
6	Jan-21	In Process	1-Started
7	Jan-21	In Process	0-Waiting
8	Jan-21	Completed	1-Started
1	Feb-21	In Process	1-Started
2	Feb-21	In Process	1-Started
1	Mar-21	In Process	1-Started
4	Mar-21	In Process	0-Waiting
5	Mar-21	In Process	0-Waiting
1	Apr-21	In Process	1-Started
2	Apr-21	Completed	2-Final
4	Apr-21	In Process	0-Waiting

Here is a measure that shows one way to do it.  Just change Items to your actual table name.

ItemCount =
VAR inprogress =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Items[Item] ),
        KEEPFILTERS ( Items[Stage] IN { "1-Started", "2-Final" } )
    )
VAR waiting =
    CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Items[Item] ), KEEPFILTERS ( Items[Stage] = "0-Waiting" ) )
RETURN
    0 + inprogress - waiting

Hi @mahoneypat ,

Many thanks for your prompt help. It seems to almost work. Except that I wanted another condition to be in the filter i.e. the state value of "In Process". The -ve count should not be applied for records which have state as "Completed"

Thanks again for your help

Perhaps you already did this, but you can add this as another clause in the CALCULATE for that variable.

Items[State] <> "Completed"
