Result CC =
VAR currentname = Data[Name]
VAR idone = Data[ID_1]
VAR idtwo = Data[ID_2]
VAR idthree = Data[ID_3]
VAR newtable =
GENERATE (
CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( Data[Name] ), Data[Name] = currentname ),
CALCULATETABLE (
UNION ( VALUES ( Data[ID_1] ), VALUES ( Data[ID_2] ), VALUES ( Data[ID_3] ) )
)
)
VAR idonecount =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( newtable, Data[ID_1] <> BLANK () && Data[ID_1] = idone ) )
VAR idtwocount =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( newtable, Data[ID_1] <> BLANK () && Data[ID_1] = idtwo ) )
VAR idthreecount =
COUNTROWS (
FILTER ( newtable, Data[ID_1] <> BLANK () && Data[ID_1] = idthree )
)
VAR maxcount =
MAX ( MAX ( idonecount, idtwocount ), idthreecount )
RETURN
SWITCH (
maxcount,
idonecount, Data[ID_1],
idtwocount, Data[ID_2],
idthreecount, Data[ID_3]
)
