       Sorry,

       

      thought I did

       

      I have 2 different tables that are joined together on Department

       

      I want to count the number of people Submitting application to a certain departmentfrom the joined table and group the count by Department Type 

       

      Table 1                                                                  Table 2  

      Applicant   Department

      Joe          HR                                                           Department    # Employees    # Applicants (Table 1)

      Jim         Marketing                                              HR                            30                             3

      John      Marketing                                              Marketing            22                            2

      Heather  HR                                                           Bus Dev                  7                              1

      Jack        Bus Dev

      Tay         HR

       

      Department and # of employees can be calculated from Table 2... How would I calculated (count and group by Department from Table 1(Applicants)

        Hi there.

         

        Say you have 2 tables:

        * Applicants, with columns: Applicant (this does not need to be unique since you can have one person apply for many departments as much as I understand) and Department (+ any other columns). Column Department should be hidden and slicing by Department should be done through Departments[Department].

        * Departments, with columns: Department (should be unique) (+ any other columns)

        There is a relationship: Departments 1:* Applicatnts on Department.

         

        You probably want this measure:

         

        [# Applicants] := DISTINCTCOUNT( Applicants[Applicant] )

         

        When you then slice by Departments[Department] it will give you the count of applicants in each department.

         

        Best
