Hi Ynew

The results are shown in the image above.

 

Did you try it as a calculated column with your full data?

 

The Formula just counts the distinct number of products for each customer and if it it is more than 1, it is marked as "Multiple Type"

Hi Muhammad,

 

Yes I tried, but the tool does not understand the first and last part of your formulation. The highlited parts I mean.

 

I checked your image, I assume you have formulated in Excel. Even in Excel I could not get the same formulation. Could you please send me the exact formulation you have in power BI?

    Hi Ynew

     

    It seems your version of Excel does not support DAX variables

     

    Please try this instead

     

    =
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableName[Products] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Customer name] )
    )
        > 1,
    "Multiple Type",
    "Single Type"
)
