Riddle me this!
I am trying to count the number of people by their closest building - so distinct count of people is 2,061, distinct count of buildings is 7. I have mapped the distance of every person to each building by KM and Miles (file contains 14,427 rows). I need to be able to see the number of people by their closest building - but this needs to be a dynamic measure as I want to be able to unselect a building and have it recalculate all people to their next nearest building.
So I want to be able to count the total number of people by their closest building in a bar chart.
Eg Person 1 closest building is A, then A is removed from the filter, so their next closest is E and they will be counted with that building, then if E is removed theyll go to D etc etc.
Any ideas of how to do this in a measure? @Greg_Deckler can you help?
@GuyInACube any ideas for this problem?

Hello Ibendlin, thanks so much for your help, I am wondering if you can assist again please?
I have added in a new column for travel time in to the table,
(Less than 30 mins, 30mins -1 hour, 1-1.5 hours, 1.5-2 hours, more than 2 hours).
this is for each row, each person distince to building and travel time.
How can I adjust the code so that I can dynamically show the number of persons by their travel time?
They still need to have been sorted by their closest building.... 🤔
Thanks 🤞
You can adjust the DAX to swap out the distance for the time - after you put the time column into a usable (countable) format. Right now it is an inconsistent, unusable mess.
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed! 🎉
