Add column that count summarized variable

I am trying to summarize some data that is set out as follows

reidnmorrison_0-1668778152633.png

 

I wannt to show the number of tasks for each person and also what the worst [Due Status] is for each person. So for example Person A has 4 tasks and the worst [Due Status] is 'Overdue'. I have done this by adding a calculated column [Rank] and then creating a new table using the following DAX 

 

Summary = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    SUMMARIZE(
        'Table1',
        Table1[Person],
        "Number of tasks", CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table1'))
    ),
    "Status",
        CALCULATE (
            SELECTCOLUMNS (
                TOPN ( 1, 'Table1', 'Table1'[Rank] ),
                "val", 'Table1'[Due Status]
            )
        )
)

 

There is one extra bit I am stuggling with. That is also adding a column that counts the number of times the worst [Due Status] appears.

 

For example:

  • For Person A it would be 'Overdue' and count would be 2.
  • For Person B it would be 'In date' and the count would be 4.
  • For Person E it would be 'Due Soon' and the count would be 1.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

if you create additional calculated column and/or calculated table, your model becomes slow performing.

 

See my pbi file. I have used a small snapshot table for the ranking.
