Hello,
I am attempting to count the number of application's comments that include a key word, not the total count of the keyword.
i.e. creating the measure on the right from the table on the left.
I have put together this measure, but this counts the total amount of keyword occurences.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Does it have to be DAX?
Keywords:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45Wcs/PT1GK1YlWcixLLUpMTwWznRKBYrEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Keyword = _t]),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Application count", (k)=> Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(#"Application Detail",each Text.PositionOf([Comments],k[Keyword])>-1)),Int64.Type)
in
#"Added Custom"
Application Count DAX = var k=[Keyword] return CALCULATE(countrows('Application Detail'),SEARCH(k,'Application Detail'[Comments],,0)>0)
Hi @dubya ,
You can try the following dax expression.
ApplicationsWithKeywordCount =
VAR Keyword = SELECTEDVALUE('Keywords Table'[Keywords])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Application Detail Table'[Application #]),
SEARCH(Keyword, 'Application Detail Table'[Comments], 1, 0) > 0
)
If your Current Period does not refer to this, please clarify in a follow-up reply.
