    Hi v-ljerr-msft!

    Sorry to bother you again. I created a secondary relationship (dotted line) between my DimArea Table and my Area column of MovementsReport. I need to use the following formula

     

    COUNT of sumar cf = CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('MovementsReport') ,
    FILTER(
    'MovementsReport',
    NOT ISBLANK('MovementsReport'[Sumar CF a])
    )
    )

     

    and add a USERELATIONSHIP(DimAreas[Área],MovementsReport[Area])

     

    to add this value to Area Column and not Previous Area (Active relationship).

     

    I don't know why, when i create this measure i'm getting an error, too many arguments for filter. Could you please help me to get the right formula.

     

    Regards!

Hi v-ljerr-msft

Thanks for your reply, just another question..

Whats this report does is to measure the movements that are OK by policy inside the company, 

Don't ask why, but because of our company policy, if the movement is inside the area it counts as 1, if the movement is from an Area as People to another Area for example Finance it should count as a movement adherence for each Area, so it count as 1 for each area. 

 

What I did is to add new column, if Previous Area (Área Anterior) does not match New Area it returns me the column Sumar CF, that would be the Area where i should also add a movement.

 

 

So for example, with the formula you gave me, i also would need to add the values of this Sumar CF column to each area.

For this pic for example 

 

Count if  OK by Área Anterior (status OK not shown on the image):

 

Supply  13  +  1 (the one in Sumar CF column)

People  5

Sales  2

Finance  2

Marketing 1

Solutions 2  +  1 (the one in Sumar CF column)

L&CA  0  +  1 (the one in Sumar CF column)

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks & Regards!

Just to clarify, 

 

this is how my information looks:

 

If Colun Área Anterior and column Area doesn't match = false returns Area on Column Sumar CF.

 

 

so the count of "OK" Status para Smar CF should be added to the count of "OK" for Status

 

Is there a way to add together two different calculate countrows?

 

  

 

Regards!

    Hi franorio,

     

    Could you try the formula below to see if it works in your scenario?

     

    Mov Adherence =
VAR selectedTable =
    CALCULATETABLE ( 'MovementsReport' )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'MovementsReport' ),
        FILTER ( 'MovementsReport', 'MovementsReport'[Status] = "OK" )
    )
        + COUNTROWS (
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'MovementsReport' ),
                CONTAINS (
                    selectedTable,
                    'MovementsReport'[Sumar CF], 'MovementsReport'[Área Anterior]
                )
            )
        )

    Total Mov =
VAR selectedTable =
    CALCULATETABLE ( 'MovementsReport' )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'MovementsReport' ),
        FILTER (
            'MovementsReport',
            'MovementsReport'[Status] = "OK"
                || 'MovementsReport'[Status] = "NO OK"
        )
    )
        + COUNTROWS (
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'MovementsReport' ),
                CONTAINS (
                    selectedTable,
                    'MovementsReport'[Sumar CF], 'MovementsReport'[Área Anterior]
                )
            )
        )

      Hi v-ljerr-msft thanks for your reply!!!

      For the first formula, Mov Adherence, when I cross it with the results of the report done in excel, they doesn´t match. 

      First part before the "+"

      Mov Adherence =
VAR selectedTable =
    CALCULATETABLE ( 'MovementsReport' )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'MovementsReport' ),
        FILTER ( 'MovementsReport', 'MovementsReport'[Status] = "OK" )
    )

      works, it gives me the exact same result before doing the addition of the other column on excel. 

       

       

      But using the complete formula isn't working, for example for January Area People should have 2 movements + 1 of the other column, it's returning me 154. or sales should be 6 + 3 and it's returning 23.

       

      Thanks!

      Hi  v-ljerr-msft

      I almost have it, 

      My DimArea Table (that I'm using as rows on a matrix) has a relationship with Área Anterior column. So when I use part of your formula, I'm getting it OK about the movements reflecting on each area.

       

      Problem is when I want to add (by companies policy) the lateral movements also to the new areas. When using this formula to count te Sumar CF column (next step a measure that add together both measures, and would be done)

       

      Count Sumar CF= CALCULATE(
      COUNTROWS('MovementsReport') ,
      FILTER(
      'MovementsReport',
      NOT ISBLANK('MovementsReport'[Sumar CF a])
      )
      )

       

      also getting ok the result of the count, but it's reflecting on the previous area because of the relationship, instead of returning on the new area.

       

      For january for example should have those 3 movements of Sumar CF column added as: Sales 2 and People 1

       

      But because of the Relationship of my DimArea table it's returning 2 for marketing previous Area, and 1 to Sales, as you can see on the image below. How can I amend it to count those values Sales with 2 and People with 1 as I need it?

       

       

      regards!
