I have a table with elements that belong to a category. Both the element and the category are on the table viz as shown:
[Element] [Category]
a x
b y
c z
d x
e y
f y
but the categories are ranked. I mean:
[Category] [Level of importance]
x 1
y 2
z 3
What I want is to count on the first table, how many elements appear, for its category OR HIGHER. I want this:
[Element] [Category] [Count]
a x 2 (2 x's)
b y 5 (because there are 3 y's and 2 x's)
c z 6 (3 y's, 2 x's, 1 z)
d x 2
e y 5
f y 5
I hope I explained myself.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
I think this should do the trick:
Count =
var _CurrentCat = SELECTEDVALUE(ElemCat[Category])
var x =
CALCULATE(
countrows(ElemCat),
all(ElemCat),
ElemCat[Category] <= _CurrentCat
)
var result = x
return result

var result = x

Hi @jorgeslzr ,
Thanks for explaining. But it gets confusing sometime seeing x, y's and z's.
Can you share some sample data and expected output ?
