How to calculate sum/count from measure

Hi,

 

I have one issue to get count from measure for below scenario.  Appreciate any help . 

Threshold<10<8 >20 >20 
GroupTotal CostNo of itemCount of Item with no price% of item with no priceCount of item with no lead time% of item with no lead timeInclude Indicator
A207114%229%0
B1510660%110%0
C311600%213%1
D3117212%00%1
E2017529%00%0
F810110%00%0

 

% of item with no price =sum(Table[Blank_Price])/COUNT(Table[Item])

% of item with no lead time=sum(Table[Blank_LT])/COUNT(Table[Item])

Include Indicator=if((Cost <10 || COUNT(Item)<8 || [% of item with no price > 0.195] || [% of item no lead time] > 0.195),0,1)

 

I try to get Item_Count_Include using below formula but get an error. 

Item_Count_Include = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Item], [Include_Ind] =1)

Warning -> A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.

Thank in advanced any help.

You can't use measures in the logical expressions under CALCULATE ([Include_Ind] =1 is not allowed). You have to use FILTER. In FILTER you can use logical expressions with measures but have to remember about context transition. Filtering arguments to CALCULATE are ALWAYS tables. Please read about CALCULATE here https://dax.guide/calculate 

 

Better still, please read this: Filter Arguments in CALCULATE - SQLBI

thank you for the explaination.
