    Hi Anonymous,

     

    1. Since your column is a state type you need to use the FALSE() / TRUE() formulas and not the text "FALSE"/"TRUE" so in this case you would use something like this:

    Completed = IF(Table[Status]=FALSE(), "Incomplete","Complete")

    2. You have several ways of doing this:

           a) Add the Completed column previously calculated on a visual and then select in the filter the status you need to count.

           b) Add the following measure be aware that this is a hard coded filter so if you need to change any filter on this you have to             rewrite your measure however no need to have :

    Count_completed_ = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Completed]),'Table'[Completed]="Complete")

          c) Add the following measure to your model, but if you only want to get one of the values you need to put in place the visual     filter as it's done in the a), this is a more dinamic measure since you can have several states in your visual if you use the b)      option you will be restricted to one state. (as you can see below this measure allow you to use more than one value at a time.

    Count_Complete =
    VAR count_status =
        COUNT ( 'Table'[Completed] )
    RETURN
        CALCULATE ( count_status, 'Table'[Completed] = VALUES ( 'Table'[Completed] ) )

    Below are the examples for each of the options:
