Basket analysis, trying to set a variable with multiple item combinations

[Anonymous]

I'm doing a basket analysis and have 7 columns containing 7 items:

Is there a way to search for a specific item combination - say avacado, crackers, hummus, peroni - occuring in a transaction and set this combination as a variable? I'd then like to set a second variable as one of the seven items in column 6 in order to calculate the Support. I hope this makes sense.

Hello,

Yes, I'd like more help.

I unpivoted the columns and saved as .pbix file but I'm not sure how to include it in a post.

You first need to structure your data to look like this.

You can then use a measure like this in a table visual to get the result shown.

ContainsList =
VAR itemstofind = { "avocado", "crackers", "hummus", "peroni" }
VAR thisIDitems =
    DISTINCT ( Transactions[Value] )
RETURN
    IF ( COUNTROWS ( INTERSECT ( itemstofind, thisIDitems ) ) = 4, "Y", "N" )

Pat,

This worked - thank you so much!

Yes, you can use the DAX function INTERSECT  to do this kind of analysis. Before that you will want to bring your source data into a usable format, likely by unpivoting.

If you like more help please provide sanitized sample data in usable format (not as a picture - inserting it into a table would be good).

Maybe this will work? Only the first 50 transactions (out of 1000) are included due to character limits in this post.
