Measure based off numbers

‎11-04-2021 01:11 PM

I have a column "sales" in dataset "data" and whether sale was made or not (1 = sales, 0 = no sales)

I am trying to create two measures for "sale" and "no sale"

I tried:
No sale = COUNTROWS(FILTER(data,data[sales] = "0")) but i get an error saying filter is not the correct syntax 
this usually works based off text but im not sure how to do it by number

looking through power bi forum found another measure:

No sale = CALCULATE(SUM(data[sales]); FILTER(data; data[sales]=0)))
but get same error for wrong syntax for filter

what would be the correct syntax for this or is my entore measure off for what I am trying to do?

@Anonymous  this should work (whatever you are doing) without any issue. 

 

Take a look here and post the pbix/sample data here for debugging
