    Hi NuTek,

     

    You can use FIRSTNONBLANK/LASTNONBLANK function to get the first/last selected group.

    First Selected Group = FIRSTNONBLANK(Table1[Group],1)

    The formula below is for your reference.:smileyhappy:

    % Overlap for first Selected Group =
VAR firstSelectedGroup =
    FIRSTNONBLANK ( Table1[Group], 1 )
VAR count_of_overlap =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Task] ),
        FILTER (
            Table1,
            CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Table1[Task] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Group] ) ) = 2
        )
    )
        + 0
VAR count_of_task_XYZ =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table1'[Task] ),
        'Table1'[Group] = firstSelectedGroup
    )
        + 0
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( count_of_overlap, count_of_task_XYZ, 0 )

Thanks for the fast reply :)

 

The number I'm looking for is the number of "2"'s in the "Overlap" column divided by the number of rows with a "1" in the Group columns.   ex: Group XYZ has 4 tasks (A,C,D,E) with 3 tasks appearing in both Group XYZ and PDQ (there are 3 columns in Overlap  with a "2")

 

Will try yo play with the solution you provided.

 

Thanks!

You can always hardcode XYZ in the formula

 

% Overlap for XYZ = 
DIVIDE (
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Group] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Task] )
    ),
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Task] ), 'Table'[Group]="XYZ" ),
    0
)

Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:
