Analyse & slice data by delimiter, but not split rows.
Hi all,
I've got an issue that I can't seem to work out & looking for help on what the best solution would be.
My data looks a little like this...
Studen
t ID | SIMD | Sport 1 | Sport 2 | Sport 3 | Sport 4 | Sport 5 | Concat Sport | Has Sport | Count |
| 1234 | 2 | Football | Rugby | Football,Rugby | 1 | 1 | |||
| 2341 | 2 | Football | Badminton | Judo | Football,Badminton,Judo | 1 | 1 | ||
| 3412 | 4 | Rugby | Football | Rugby,Football | 1 | 1 | |||
| 4123 | 3 | Shinty | Rounders | Football | Judo | Shinty,Rounders,Football,Judo | 1 | 1 | |
| 4321 | 3 | Football | Football | 1 | 1 | ||||
| 2413 | 1 | Rugby | Shinty | Rounders | Judo | Badminton | Rugby,shinty,Rounders,Judo,Badminton | 1 | 1 |
| 1324 | 5 | Badminton | Judo | Badminton,Judo | 1 | 1 | |||
| 1221 | 5 | 0 | 1 | ||||||
| 1323 | 3 | 0 | 1 | ||||||
| 2211 | 2 | 0 | 1 |
What I'd like to be able to do is have a couple of graphs that show % of students in each SIMD that have taken up a sport & the % of sport students in each SIMD - like these>
For the first one, I have a simple measure that says "Sport Percentage = (SUM('2024-25 T1'[Has Sport]))/(SUM('2024-25 T1'[Count]))". The 2nd one is just "Show value as %age of grand total".
I want to have a single slicer that allows me to filter by sport. I can split rows by delimiter on the "Concat Sport" column, but then I get multiple counts of each student under the "Has Sport" column.
Anyone know a way around this?
EDIT:
I've created a merged column using Student ID & Has Sport so the new "ID Sport" column has "1234 1", "2341 1", "1221 0", etc. So what I need to work out is how to create a measure that does a distinct count version of this - "Sport Percentage = (SUM('2024-25 T1'[Has Sport]))/(SUM('2024-25 T1'[Count]))". But instead of "Has Sport" & "Count", it's "ID Sport" and "Student ID". Does that make sense?

Hi BassG
Instead of splitting Concat Sport into columns consider splitting it into rows.
I've attached a file that splits it into rows and seperates sports into another table.
I think you're on the right track with having a table of the sports, but you maybe misunderstood what I'm trying to do?
I want to have graphs like the 2 above - showing the % in each SIMD band (1-5) but with a single dropdown slicer for the sport.
If I use split by row and no individual sport is selected, it counts "Has Sport" multiple times for each student with more than 1 sport.
I wonder if I use a concat with the Student ID for "Has Sport", if that would work with the Split Rows by Delimiter?Hi BassG
I am not fully understanding the goal.Using SIMD 3 what is your assumption?
Mine would be:
All Sports selected: 2 / 3 = 66%Judo: 1/3 = 33%
Football: 2/3 = 66%
