Calculation to check if an entry is there for a particular category

Hi All,

 

I am looking for a calcualtion for the below scenario. Can you please help.

 

Data

Account_Id, Program

1234, Program 1

1234, Program 2

1432, Program 1

1534, Program 3

 

The result should be a calculation for each of the programs which will just show a yes or no for that particular account. 

 

Acct,  Program 1, Program 2, Program 3

1234, Yes, Yes, No

1432, Yes, No, No

1534, No, No, Yes

1555, No, No, No

 

Thanks,

A most straightforward solution is PQ,

let
    Source = SourceT,
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source,"Index",1,1),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Added Index", List.Distinct(#"Added Index"[Program]), "Program", "Index", each if List.Count(_)>0 then "Yes" else "No")
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

DAX measure can do the trick, but an extra dimension is necessary,

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

I used the pivot table approach for my issue. Thanks !!

Hi @venus 

New matrix, place the id on rows and program on columns. Then place this measure in the values

IF ( ISBLANK ( COUNTROWS ( TableName ) ), "False", "True" )

By your means, you'll get "True" cells but not even a single "False" due to auto-exist mechanism under the hood.
