Calculated column countrows in another table
Hey tomperro ,
since you have (I guess) a 1:n relationship between the tables you can use RELATEDTABLE (to calculate value from the n-side of the relationship) and store the result in a calculated column.
like so:
You have to put the formula on the 1-side of the relationship.

That does give me the count but it is not applying the filters.
For example, I do not want to count the test number 123 for the employees.
I do not want to put the filter in the formula, I would like to use the page level and slicers already applied.
Calculated column works with row context.
If you would like to tweek your results you have to use CALCULATE.
What about get all data (countrows) into calculated column and then work with measures and visualizations to get your goal? You can exlude every thing you want.
It's a bit hard to understand your scenario without seeing any sample data/results.
RegardsI need a calculated column. I am able to get a count by using RELATED but that does not include the slicers and report filters. I need to include the report filters.
For example:
Contact table
Contact ID
111
222
333
Evaluation Table
Test Number
Test Category
Contact ID
1
Category 1
111
2
Category 2
111
3
Category 3
111
1
Category 1
222
1
Category 1
222
2
Category 2
333
2
Category 2
333
1
Category 1
333
my report filters out counting category 2 test so here are my expected results
Contact ID
count of tests (calculated column-needs to be created)
111
2
222
2
333
1
using COUNTROWS(RELATEDTABLE(Evaluation)) in the contact table the page level filters are not applied, so this is what that calculated column returns
If you have a calculated column (physical in your data model) you can use this values to create measures for your dashboards or use it as filter...beacause your data model gives you this opportunity now.
Tell me pls, how would you like to provide your filters made on vizualization layer to your calculated column? It's just the other way around.
Calc column uses row context, not filter context.
You can tweek the results for reasons but do you really need to this in this case?
Have you tried to create this column and use the result for your dashboards?
