Filtering out '0' in two columns to bring back results only with a numbers

[Anonymous]

 Hi

I'm trying write a measure to get results back from a table (looking at two columns) which counts only the results which have a number in one or both columns , ignoring anything with '0' in both columns. If I was using excel I would filter out the two columns which have '0' in both cells, leaving me with the columns that have a number in both, or a number in one and '0' in the other. I do not want to include results that have a zero in both columns only. The measure I have written is

= COUNTROWS(FILTER('Cycle Counts','Cycle Counts'[Cycle Count Qty. (Calculated)]<>0) & COUNTROWS(FILTER('Cycle Counts','Cycle Counts'[Cycle Count Qty. (Phys. Inventory)]<>0)))

I get an error back to say the parameter is not correct and also that'multiple columns cannot be to a scalar value.

I am very new to this hence the multiple errors and have zero practice at writing measures

How do you use this measure to filter out the data?

Please try this measure out.

= COUNTROWS(FILTER('Cycle Counts','Cycle Counts'[Cycle Count Qty. (Calculated)]<>0 && 'Cycle Counts'[Cycle Count Qty. (Phys. Inventory)]<>0))

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try it using COUNTX:

Hi- unfortunately I don't know if. this would have worked as the link looked like it was in Spanish. I did get a solution though, and thank you for replying.
