Dax Calc countif

[Anonymous]

I need help figuring out how to write this formula in dax. 

COUNT IF [F RETAIL FH FIRST/FURTHER] = "FIRST" OR "FURTHER"

[ERD]

@Anonymous ,

You can try the measure below:

your_measure =
IF (
    'F RETAIL FH FIRST'[FURTHER] IN { "FIRST", "FURTHER" },
    COUNT ( 'F RETAIL FH FIRST'[FURTHER] )
)

Thanks for the answer, but that syntax does not work.

What's the error?

I dont think and if will work for dax.  I am just looking to COUNT [F RETAIL FH FIRST/FURTHER] when its  = to "FIRST" OR "FURTHER"

[ERD]

Ok, here is another option:

your_measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'F RETAIL FH FIRST'[FURTHER] ),
    'F RETAIL FH FIRST'[FURTHER] IN { "FIRST", "FURTHER" }
)

Thats not getting me the answer I need.  below is the calc I am trying to convert from qlik to pbi.  The RTL_First_further is text if that helps.

sum(if(RTL_FIRST_FURTHER = 'FIRST',1,
if(RTL_FIRST_FURTHER = 'FURTHER' ,1,null())))

Hi @Anonymous ,

What is the logic you are trying to convey? 

My idea: This is your filtering criteria F RETAIL FH FIRST[FURTHER] = "FIRST" or "FURTHER". 

When this condition is met, you need to count or sum some data? Is this what you have in mind?

Hi,

Yes that is exactly what I have in mind.  I just need the sum of F RETAIL FH FIRST[FURTHER] after the condition is met, but I have diffucutlties because it is text. 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Text is not computable for aggregation, I think you need to convert the data type first.

Through here to change the data type:

and then you can do some calculation.

Refer to my pbix file for better understanding.
