Get count values for comma separated

Hi,

I have a table below. Tenant ID will always be unique. I need a measure for Incident Type, Priority, and Incident Root cause to get the result below.

 

Table :

Result expected :

Ashfiya_Naaz_1-1668746907879.png

 

Regards,
Ashfiya

This shall be achieveable without any DAX code:
For the incidents by type table, create a table visual, put the [Incident Type] and [TelantID] to the Columns. Then you will get the expected result. 
 
It is similar to the other two tables.

Hi @FreemanZ ,

This will not work. I need count for every value present in Incident Type 
Ex: Near miss is present for all three tenant ID, so count of near miss should be 3.

Aha, then you need to split [Incident Type] column and duplicate the rest columns first in Power Query. For example, a row with 3 incident types, there will be 3 rows.

I do not want to go with that approach since I will have 40 more comma-separated columns with different values.

So I need a calculated measure.
Thank You!

 

@amitchandak @Greg_Deckler @Jihwan_Kim  Please help

@Anonymous Assuming you have an Incidents type table somewhere you could do this:

Measure = 
  VAR __Type = MAX('Types'[Type])
  VAR __Table = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
      'Table',
      "__Found",SEARCH(__Type,[Incident Type],,-1)
    )
  VAR __Result = COUNTROWS(FILTER(__Table, [__Found] > -1))
RETURN
  __Result

Hi @Greg_Deckler 
Thanks for the reply. I will not have an Incident Type table. My issue is there are more than 40 such columns, so having 40 tables will lower the performance.
Any different approach?

Note : using MongoDb as Datasource which is very very slow.
