Basic filtering by using DAX

    if your system uses semicolons as list separator then you should use it in the measures too

     

    you can validate you syntax here:

    right now I'd suggest:
    1) replacing commas with semicolons

    2) the column name should be 

    'ekoseer Sopimus'[SopimuksenTila]

    I think there is an apostrophe missing before '[' 

     

    Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!

    hi, jussiwaisto 

    You should use this simple formula as below:

    Measure = 
    CALCULATE([Id_sopimus_kpI], 'ekoseer Sopimus'[Id]="1")

    and the column name should be 

    'ekoseer Sopimus'[SopimuksenTila]  

    and if you are using the wrong delimiter, replace the "," with a ";" and see if it works.

     

    Best Regards,

    2. I have a measure, which counts how many Id's I have in table

     

    Then I would like to count Id's which "'SopimuksenTila" is value "2". The result should be three.


    I'm trying to make a new measure which uses measure Id_sopimus_kpl and filters it, but I can't make working syntax:

     

     

    What is the right syntax?

     

    I know this should be very simple, but for some reason my PowerBi changes commas to semicolons and syntax won't work. 

     

    Thanks for helping!

    1. First you need to count the ID table

    2. then, Calculate( <your measure> ,  your filter = "2" ) 

    What i have seen is too many open ")" in your syntax.
