COUNTIF equivalent in DAX using mathematical operators

I'm trying to create a measure in PowerBI that will do the same thing as this Excel formula:

=COUNTIF(J2:J378,"<=7")/COUNT(J2:J378)

 

Basically, I have a column with values for the number of days of completion and I'm trying to calculate the percentage that were completed in 7 days or less.

 

The denominator works fine; it's the numerator of the formula that won't work.

 

I have this measure for the numerator: Tim7Days = COUNTAX('Timeliness Query','Timeliness Query'[R2CinDays]<=7), but it keeps ignoring the "<=7" and giving me a total count.

 

I tried adding in FILTER functionality like I've seen elsewhere on community posts, but it just gives me error messages about multiple columns and scalar values. All the samples I see match text rather than use greater than or less than.

Hi @julied

 

Try this one

 

Tim7Days =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Timeliness Query', 'Timeliness Query'[R2CinDays] <= 7 ) )
