Constant Column for Table Based on Measure

[kellyylt]

Hello! I am trying to create a table below in Direct Query mode and am struggling with the last step. I am trying to count the number of items in a table based on status and want to have another column (Count 2) with constant value based on the 'Status' column.

I have tried CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Qty]), FILTER(ALL(Table), Table[Status] = "A")) and a few other variations but the rows in Status B and C are always 0.

Can someone please help on this?

Status	Count 1	Count 2
A	Count number items with Status A	Count number items with Status A
B	Count number of items with Status B	Count number of items with Status A
C	Count number of items with Status C	Count number of items with Status A

Do you need the FILTER statement for something? Try removing it and seeing what the output is.
The current problem is the rows of the table already apply a filter that you won't see in the DAX formula. So in the row with status B, your formula will calculate no values with status = A. Not sure if that made sense, but I hope it helps.

Yes, I am trying to calculate values with Status = A for rows with Status = B and Status = C too. If I just use ALL(Table), I will sum up all the statuses which is not what I am looking for.

what do you mean by "constant value based on the 'Status' column."?

[kellyylt]

I mean achieving what I'd shown in 'Count 2' column. I need the rows to ignore the row context of 'Status' column except for Status A

aha, then try to create a new table with the code below:

 

Table =

ADDCOLUMNS(

    VALUES( TableName[Status] ),

    "Count1",

    CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ) ),

    "Count2"

    CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ), TableName[Status] = "A" )

)

Thanks!! This worked. Is there a way to acheive this without the use of tables?

you mean with measure? you can try to create with two measures with such code:

    Count1 = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ) ),

    Count2 = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( TableName ), TableName[Status] = "A" )

try to plot a Table Visual, with Status column and the two measures.

Thanks! This measure worked. It wasn't working on mine as I just realised there's another table filtering the contents.
