Add together two count visuals

Good Morning,

 

I have two card visuals both with filters on counting rows of data - is there a simple way to be able to sum these two visuals together on a new visual? 

 

Would I need to use a measure for this? 

 

I want to take visual A (count) + visual B (count) to create visual C (count) if it's easy and possible, suspect I'm missing something obvious! Basically adding two numbers together really, 

 

Hope you can help!

Hi, write a simple dax measure = Count( column A ) + Count ( column B ). You are counting (referencing) columns in tables, not visuals. 🙂

Hi @pigsinblankets ,

 

Based on your description,
You might consider the following code to create a Measure.
My Sample:

vweiyan1msft_0-1705037674951.png

Sum of Count1 = [CountA] + [CountB]

OR

Sum of Count2 = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Category]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Category] = "A")) 
                + 
                CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Category]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Category] = "B"))

Result is as below.
