A DAX question

Dear all, I have a DAX question - 

 

I have a table that has relations between projects and employees - 

ProjectEmployee
11
21
22
23
31
32

 

Now I am looking for a project count for each employee, for only projects with multiple employees assigned (exclude single person project) - How should go about with the DAX?

 

EomployeeCounts of Multi People Project
12
22
30

 

Thanks!
NM

Hi @Anonymous 

You can try this, create the measures below,

EpCountPerProject = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Employee]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Project]))
Measure = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Project]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Employee]=MIN('Table'[Employee])&& [EpCountPerProject]>1))

for Employee=3,  Counts of Multi People Project=1,

result

In this scenario, you don't need to go seek better data model.

@Anonymous , Try a measure like

 

Measure =
var _tab = filter(summarize(Table, Table[Project], "_1", count(Table[Employee])), [_1]>0)
var _tab1 = summarize(_tab, [Project])
return
countrows(Table, Table[Project] in _tab1)

Thank you @amitchandak !

 

If the output table is the # of multi people projects per employee, with employee on each row from the same table, does these summarize used in measure aleady get the filter context of the employee on the row? Or summarize has access to the entire table, not filtered?

 

also does this part miss a calculate? - countrows(Table, Table[Project] in _tab1)

 

My other question is, if the DAX is this complex to get to such KPI, should I go seek better data model, such as having a separated Project table, and project-employee table, where project has the granularity at project level should help a lot in this case?

 

Thanks!
