Hello Power BI community,
I'm not too familiar with DAX code and creating measures, so I used the Power BI quick measure option to create a count and filter one of my columns. It was very easy to make and it developed a measure with this code:
Quick Measure =
CALCULATE(
COUNTA('Open_Assignments'[Open_Summary]),
'Open_Assignments'[Open_Summary] IN {
"Ad hoc",
"Consultation",
"Data Management",
"Data Sharing Agreement",
"Flag",
"Map/Global Information System",
"Program Evaluation",
"Research",
"Survey",
"Workgroup"
}
)However, when I manually filtered the column to double-check the quick measure's result, I found that the measure didn't align:
Does the syntax of the measure look off?
I appreciate your help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I ended up using a different filtering syntax that worked:
FilteredRequests =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Open_Assignments',
'Open_Assignments'[Request_Type] <> "Report"
)
)
I ended up using a different filtering syntax that worked:
FilteredRequests =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'Open_Assignments',
'Open_Assignments'[Request_Type] <> "Report"
)
)
