Hello,
My dataset includes this table callled Interests:
An interest that appears in column [Interest 1] is scored a 3, [Interest 2] a 2, and [Interest 3] a 1. Can you help by providing a DAX expression that will produce the following table visualization? The table displays the cumulative score fore each interest.
Thank you,
Bob

@bob57 firstly you need a slicer table
slicer =
FILTER (
DISTINCT (
UNION (
VALUES ( 'Table'[Interest1] ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[Interest2] ),
VALUES ( 'Table'[Interest3] )
)
),
[Interest1] <> BLANK ()
)
then a measure
Measure =
VAR _cal1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest1] ),
TREATAS ( { MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) }, 'Table'[Interest1] )
) * 3
VAR _cal2 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest2] ),
TREATAS ( { MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) }, 'Table'[Interest2] )
) * 2
VAR _cal3 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest3] ),
TREATAS ( { MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) }, 'Table'[Interest3] )
) * 1
RETURN
_cal1 + _cal2 + _cal3
if you need subtotal
subtotal =
SUMX (
ADDCOLUMNS (
slicer,
"x",
VAR _cal1 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest1] ),
TREATAS ( { CALCULATE ( MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) ) }, 'Table'[Interest1] )
) * 3
VAR _cal2 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest2] ),
TREATAS ( { CALCULATE ( MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) ) }, 'Table'[Interest2] )
) * 2
VAR _cal3 =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Interest3] ),
TREATAS ( { CALCULATE ( MAX ( slicer[Interest1] ) ) }, 'Table'[Interest3] )
) * 1
RETURN
_cal1 + _cal2 + _cal3
),
[x]
)
