Calculations with multiple columns

 

Hi, 

 

I have the following fields, Application, Laptop Name, Username and Date Used (Year, Month , Day)

 

If I wanted to work out the count for Laptop names (which are linked to Username) by application how would I go about doing this?

I can create a simple count but how do I do it by application so the report can show me the number of times a user accessed an application per month?

Measure = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table Name'[LAPTOP NAME]))

Hi @RGujjalu ,

 Try putting that measure in a table or matrix visual along with the Application field.

Ok thanks, that gives me what I need I think. If I wanted to created a measure for this, how would I go about doing it? I'm just trying to understand the principles behind it that's all
