Need help comparing rows and after that counting
Hello everyone,
I have a dataset a little more complicated but in the same direction as this:
I can arrange in 2 types:
Type1:
| Subject | Name1 | State1 | Name2 | State2 | Name3 | State3 | Name4 | State4 | Output |
| A | ABC | 1 | ABC | 2 | EFG | 7 | PRO | 5 | 1 |
| B | EFG | 4 | ADC | 7 | ABD | 2 | ABD | 3 | 1 |
| C | ABD | 2 | ABD | 3 | ABD | 4 | PRO | 2 | 2 |
Type2:
| Subject | Name | State | Output |
| A | ABC | 2 | 1 - same output as the other for this subject |
| A | ABC | 1 | 1 - same output as the other for this subject |
| A | EFG | 7 | 1 - same output as the other for this subject |
| A | PRO | 5 | 1 - same output as the other for this subject |
| C | ABD | 2 | 2 - same output as the other for this subject |
| C | ABD | 3 | 2 - same output as the other for this subject |
| C | ABD | 4 | 2 - same output as the other for this subject |
| C | PRO | 2 | 2 - same output as the other for this subject |
Name needs to be in the approved state 2 or 3, and not to count if it is not repeated in another column like in C Subject ABD appears 2 times with the States 2 & 3 but is counted one single time.
I have managed to do it using measure with the Type2 table arrange but i need it to be in column :
I managed to solve my problem using the method of the accepted solution in here . Just added one more filtering to the calculate.

Hi Anonymous ,
It is bit confusing to undertand.
Can you paste your desired output according to the Type 1 and Type 2 table.

Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!Hi NikhilChenna ,
Sorry for the confusion.The fact is that I want the same output. I can have the table in 2 different types as I shown.
Let's take the second.
For Subject 1 I want the output 1 cause it needs to count only one name within the state 2 or 3. Only the first name ABC has the valid state for me . The rest of them have invalid states for me (not 2 or 3).
If we look into the C subject it has 4 names and there it need to count 2 because even if I have 1 name that appears 2 or multiple times with valid state (2 or 3), it need to count only 1 single time that name. So ABD-2 ABD-3 ABD-4 counts 1 time and PRO-2 counts 1 time so COUNT=2 (Out of 4 names, 3 have a valid state but one name with valid state that has the same value with another one with different or even same state need to count 1 not 2)Hope it is more clear!
Hi Anonymous ,
If you are looking for a output like this below, then follow the below steps.
1. you have to make a calculated column in the table , using the below dax.
Check = IF('Table (2)'[State]=2 || 'Table (2)'[State]=3,1,0)2. After that you have to create a new table from your table, go to report view, click on the modelling tab from the above ribbion, click on the new table icon. after that use the below dax to create a summarize table.Table 2 =SUMMARIZE('Table (2)','Table (2)'[Subject],'Table (2)'[Name],"MAX check",MAX('Table (2)'[Check]))Which will give you the output as shown in the above screen shot.Regards,Nikhil ChennaAppreciate with a Kudos!!
