DAX formula count single value in D365 multiselect field

[Pwrbi_usr]

Hello, 

In a Power Bi report, connected to Dynamics 365 environment by direct query, i need to count how many times a single value (1) of a multiselect field appears in the column.

Examining the input data, I found that the values have the following format:

I tried with the following expression, but it counts every single row:

Single option = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(campaign), NOT(ISBLANK(FIND("1", campaign[Multiselect Field]))))

I also tried with this other expression, and count only rows that has the single value "1":

Single option = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(campaign),CONTAINSSTRING("1", campaign[Destinatari Campagna]))

Can someone help me?

Hi, @Pwrbi_usr 

Based on your description, I've created the following sample data:

Using the Find function is the right choice. First, I created a dummy table in my measure as follows:

Second, I use the countax function to count the column columns. The final measure expression is as follows:

Has1value = 
VAR _table = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Column1],"a",FIND(1,'Table'[Column1],1,0))
RETURN COUNTAX(FILTER(_table,[a] <>0),'Table'[Column1])

Here are the results:

I tried your  DAX expression, but if there is the same value in multiple rows, only one is considered:

While in input I've 10 rows:

Hi, @Pwrbi_usr 

Thank you very much for your reply. Since the summary will ignore the rows that have the same value. I modified this DAX expression:

This way rows with the same value will not be ignored, and the final DAX expression will look like this:

Has1value = 
VAR _table = ADDCOLUMNS(CALCULATETABLE('Table'),"a",FIND(1,'Table'[Column1],1,0))
RETURN COUNTAX(FILTER(_table,[a] <>0),'Table'[Column1])
