Need Dax Help Please!

Hi guys

 

I have 2 tables. They are related through the Task column

 

i need to write a calculated column that gives me a count of each task. Seems simple but the part that's tripping me up is if the task is task 3 or 4 then I need the count of those together in the calculated column. The one I wrote doesn't add them together. Here is an example table and my desired result. Thanks!

 

NameTask
John1

@Bpark1994 , Try a measure like

Measure 2 = if( max('Table'[Task]) in {3,4} ,CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Name]), 'Table'[Task] in {3,4}), COUNT('Table'[Name]))

@Bpark1994 , I think one table is missing. This how you can get new column in table 2 from tbale

Countx(filter(Table1, Table2[Task] =Table1[Task]),Table1[Name])

 

The above one can also done using measure with task

count(Table1[Name])

Sorry this is not the desired result I am looking for. I don't just want to count the tasks, I also need conditional logic that adds tasks 3 and 4 together as described above. I appreciate the help though!
