Hi Everyone,
I need to create a Column in DAX to create the Bold Column in below Table. It would evaluate if each row# has a True Match in "Match?" Column, then new column will be True, otherwise False
Row# | Attribute | ValueBase | ValueCompare | Match? | All Values in same Row# Match? |
1 | 1 | A | A | True | False |
1 | 2 | A | B | False | False |
1 | 3 | B | B | True | False |
2 | 1 | A | A | True | True |
3 | 1 | B | B | True | False |
3 | 2 | C | A | False | False |
4 | 1 | A | A | True | True |
4 | 2 | A | A | True | True |
4 | 3 | C | C | True | True |
4 | 4 | B | B | True | True |
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous like this?
Result Column =
VAR _row = 'Table (2)'[RowNumber]
VAR _test_for_true = 'Table (2)'[Is Predecessor Plan inside External Dependencies]
VAR _values =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Table (2)'[Is Predecessor Plan inside External Dependencies]),
'Table (2)'[RowNumber] = _row,
REMOVEFILTERS('Table (2)')
)
VAR _result =
IF(_values = 1 && _test_for_true, TRUE(), FALSE() )
RETURN
_result

Write this calculated column:
Result Column =
VAR _row = 'Table'[Row#]
VAR _values =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Match?]),
'Table'[Row#] = _row,
REMOVEFILTERS('Table')
)
VAR _result =
IF(_values = 1, TRUE(), FALSE() )
RETURN
_result
Hi @SpartaBI ,
Thanks for your support on this. When I try your solution in my sample file/data I posted earlier it works perfectly. However, when I try this in my dataset (which it has the same structure/logic than the sample) for some reason is not giving the same output. Ive attached a portion of the dataset with both the sample data and this one with the solution.
SamplePBIX
Which could be the issue? When I read the logic behind your column I see that the output should be correct for my dataset as it is in the sample data.
Thanks,
@Anonymous if all columns for row number are false, you want to get false?
Cause that's not what I did but I will add this logic if that is what you meant.
Hi Sparta,
The outcomes should be:
If all Row# are False, then False
If some Row# are False and others are True, then False
If all Row# are True, then True

The test for true was the key! Ty!
my pleasure 🙂
P.S. Kudos are always welcome 😀
Check out my showcase report - got some high level stuff there. Sure you will find there a lot of cool ideas. Please give it a thumbs up over there if you liked it 🙂

Hi Sparta,
Can you please breakdown how - _test_for_true
is working?
