How to make a summary table

Hi,

 

I have an "Incident" table looks like this, note that I created the column (Opened At Month) in Power Query editor so that it is easier for future aggretation based on month:

 

Incident:

"Opened At""Opened At (Month)""Incident ID""Met SLA""Age (Days)""Duration(Secs)"
1-Sep-21Sep-21Inc090921Yes0.008691.2
13-Sep-21Sep-21Inc130921Yes0.000977.76
2-Oct-21Oct-21Inc021021Yes0.0073630.72
12-Oct-21Oct-21Inc121021No186400
2-Nov-21Nov-21Inc021121No0.977760
5-Nov-21Nov-21Inc051121No186400
11-Nov-21Nov-21Inc111121No186400
2-Dec-21Dec-21Inc021221Yes0.006518.4
21-Dec-21Dec-21Inc211221No186400
8-Jan-22Jan-22Inc080122Yes0.000651.84

 

And based on this Incident table, I need to create an Incident Summary table that aggregates the number of incidents, and number of incidents that have met SLA etcs each month, it should look like this:

 

Incident Summary

"Opened At (Month)""Number of Incidents""Incidents that have Met SLA""Average Age (Days)""Duration(Secs) > 80000"
Sep-21220.004450
Oct-21210.503651
Nov-21300.96666666672
Dec-21210.5031
Jan-22110.00060

 

I tried to use DAX to create a new table: Incident Summary = SUMMARIZE(Incidents, Incidents [Opened At (Month]), and created a relationship between Incident and Incident Summary. I managed to figure out the calculation of "the Number of Incident" column = CALCULATE (COUNTROWS(Incident), USERELATIONSHIP(Incident[Opened At (Month], 'Incident Summary'[Opened At (Month)]))

 

However, I am stuck with how to calculate number of Incidents that have met SLA (Met SLA = Yes), I tried to use this formula to create the "Met SLA" column but it does not give me the right number: Met SLA = CALCULATE(COUNT(Incident[Met SLA

]), FILTER (Incident, Incident[Met SLA]="Yes"))

 

It would be really appreciated if anyone can let me know how to summarise the following metrics in Incident Summary table:
1. Incidents that have Met SLA

2. Average Age (Days)

3. Duration(Secs) > 80000

 

I also tried Pivoting from Query Editor but it didn't help. Much appreciated if anyone can point me right direction on how to properly summarise a table in PowerBI, either using DAX or other methods, I am still relatively new to PowerBI.  Thanks for very much for your help.

Hi,

Instead of using FILTER in CALCULATE you can do it like this:

Table 3 =
SUMMARIZE(Aggregation,Aggregation[Opened At (Month)],"SLA",calculate(COUNTROWS(Aggregation),Aggregation[Met SLA]="Yes"),"Average",AVERAGE(Aggregation[Age (Days)]),"Over >80000",calculate(COUNTROWS(Aggregation),Aggregation[Duration(Secs)]>80000))
