I am trying to summarize this virtual table (non base table) and of course I am getting error that the base table is expected. Can someone assist please.
DEFINE
VAR C =
ADDCOLUMNS (
DISTINCT (
UNION (
DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ),
DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] )
)
),
"@COUNTRY",
MINX (
FILTER (
ADDRESS,
ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" )
),
RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
)
)
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
C,
C[Country],
"Count", COUNT ( C[ID] )
)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Missed the @ sign 😅
DEFINE
VAR C =
ADDCOLUMNS (
DISTINCT ( UNION ( DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ), DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] ) ) ),
"@COUNTRY",
MINX (
FILTER ( ADDRESS, ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" ) ),
RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
)
)
EVALUATE
GROUPBY ( C, [@Country], "Count", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), 1 ) )
Hi @stribor45 ,
May I ask if you have resolved this issue? If so, please mark the helpful reply and accept it as the solution. This will be helpful for other community members who have similar problems to solve it faster.
Thank you.
Hi @stribor45
please try
DEFINE
VAR C =
ADDCOLUMNS (
DISTINCT ( UNION ( DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ), DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] ) ) ),
"@COUNTRY",
MINX (
FILTER ( ADDRESS, ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" ) ),
RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
)
)
EVALUATE
GROUPBY ( C, [Country], "Count", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), 1 ) )
I tried it and error received was COUNTRY specified in the GROUPBY function was not found in the table
Missed the @ sign 😅

"@COUNTRY",
MINX (

RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )

Hi @stribor45
Without sample data, this is just a guess:
EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE(
ADDCOLUMNS (
DISTINCT (
UNION (
DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ),
DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] )
)
),
"@COUNTRY",
MINX (
FILTER (
ADDRESS,
ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" )
),
RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
)
),
[Country],
"Count", COUNT ( [ID] )
)
If that doesn't help, could please supply sample data to work with?
I know without data is hard. I tried that before I posted as I was pretty sure it will work but kept complaining that it cant find [ID]
