Measure - Intersecting counts of two dimensions

I have the following data model:

 

fact MonthlyUserActivity - each row represents the quantity of logins by a single user into a single project for each month

dim RegionalUsers - bridge table to consolidate user IDs

dim Users - list of all users

dim Projects - list of all projects

dim Databases - list of databases each project belongs to a single database

dim Owners - each database belongs to one owner

Relationships:
fact MonthlyUserActivity (*->1) RegionalUsers (*->1) Users

fact MonthlyUserActivity (*->1) Projects (*->1) Databases (*->1) Owners

 

What I'm trying to acheive is a Measure that:

  • Calculates the quantity of Owners each User has interacted with by way of the Projects they access. I can represent this value in a Table or Matrix with this measure: COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('MonthlyUserActivity', 'Owners'[Owner Name]))
  • Filters the resulting table to only rows where the COUNT is greater than 1
  • Count the resulting rows to return the total number of users that have accessed data from multiple Owners.

I've tried a few things, but not having much luck in building a virtual table that returns the correct data. Suggestions are welcome!

Solved my own problem....

    FILTER(
        SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
            'User List'[id],
            "CountOwners", COUNTROWS(SUMMARIZE('Monthly User Activity by Project', 'Owners'[Owner Name]))
        ),
        [CountOwners] > 1
    )

Hey @rpiboy_1 ,

 

Thanks for the detailed explanation of your data model. You're on the right track you need a measure that:

  1. Builds a virtual table showing each User and how many distinct Owners they have interacted with.
  2. Filters that table to only include users with Owner count > 1.
  3. Counts the number of such users.

 

Users with Multiple Owners (Measure)

UsersWithMultipleOwners :=
VAR UsersOwners =
ADDCOLUMNS (
VALUES ( 'Users'[UserID] ),
"OwnerCount",
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Owners'[Owner Name] )
)
)
VAR FilteredUsers =
FILTER ( UsersOwners, [OwnerCount] > 1 )
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( FilteredUsers )

@rpiboy_1 Awesome, great catch on the adjustment!

Hi @rpiboy_1 ,

Can you try the following measure and let me know if this achieves your desired result?:

Measure = 
VAR UsersWithOwnerCounts =
    ADDCOLUMNS(
        VALUES('Users'[User ID]),
        "OwnerCount",
        CALCULATE(
            DISTINCTCOUNT('Owners'[Owner Name])
        )
    )

VAR FilteredUsers =
    FILTER(UsersWithOwnerCounts, [OwnerCount] > 1)

RETURN
COUNTROWS(FilteredUsers)

 

If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.

Thanks,

Samson
