Completed = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(incidents),
    FILTER(incidents, incidents[Ticket Status] = "Completed"),
    FILTER(incidents, incidents[Location] = locations[Location])
)

Too many arguments were passed to the COUNTROWS function. The maximum argument count for the function is 1.

OK I think I have somewhat of an idea how to get it going. How do I enter a wildcard on a text field?

 

Example:

 

Failed =
CALCULATE(
    COUNT(ComputerStatus[Acrobat]),
    FILTER(ComputerStatus, ComputerStatus[Acrobat] = "FAILED"))

Is failed always going to be the first 6 characters?  If so, use LEFT([YourField], 6) = "FAILED".  Failing that there is a function called FIND which returns true or false if it finds a subtext within a larger text.

 

For performance reasons, LEFT is going to be faster but if its not suitable FIND will work in a similar manner to the wildcarding you were hoping for.

Yes. It's actually Failed then various resons

Then i think LEFT([YourField], 6) = "FAILED" will work for you.

Would this be the correct complete syntax?

 

Failed =
CALCULATE(
    COUNT(ComputerStatus[Acrobat]),
    FILTER(ComputerStatus, ComputerStatus[Acrobat] = LEFT([YourField], 6) = "FAILED"))
