Calculating dynamic count of linked objects

Hi all,

 

Hopefully I can get a little help with a count measure.

I have two identical tables of Items and customers who bought them (sample):

ItemCustomer
Item 1Bob
Item 2Susy
Item 3Mary
Item 4Joe
Item 5Joe
Item 6Joe

 

These tables are linked by customer name so that if you  have them side by side and selected Item 5 from table one it would then show Items 4, 5, and 6 from table two. 

 

I'm looking to create a measure that will count the items on table two that are returned excluding the identical item from table 1.  So something like this:

 

ItemCustomer Item CustomerMeasure 1
Item 1Bob Item 4Joe1
Item 2Susy Item 5Joe 
Item 3Mary Item 6Joe1
Item 4Joe    
Item 5Joe    
Item 6Joe    

 

Hopefully there is a way to do this.

    Hi STS_Joshua 

    Try the following measures

    Measure = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[Item]),EXCEPT(Table2,Table1))

Measure 2 = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table2[Item]),ALL(Table2))

Measure 3 = [Measure]/[Measure 2]

     

    Best Regards

    Well I figured that out through some trial and error.

    Measure1 = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table2'[Item]), EXCEPT('Table2', 'Table1'))

     

    Now I'm having an issue with determining that item's % of that value. In the above example I'd like another measure to show Item 4 and 5 as 50% of the total count of filtered items.
