Count a result of a Measure

Hi there geniuses,

 

I have a measure that indicates "yes" or "no" if a salesperson has achieved their target for the month.

 

Now I would like to count the number of salespeople that have achieved their target.

 

I have tried every type of count and calculate but I am not able to get it working.  Can you please help?

 

Cheers

 

Phil

You are welcome.  It works absolutely fine.  You were missing a closing bracket after the VALUES() function.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If Yes, No are results of a measure and not a calculated column, then try this

=COUNTROWS(FILTER(VALUES(Data[Salesperson]),[Target Met]="Yes"))

Hope this helps.

If the result is not as per your expectation, then please share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

 Hi @Ashish_Mathur

 

this is a great fix.   

I wondered if you can help me tune the formula.  

For me, it counts correctly, and when I enter the two measure into a table "yes" and "no", the sum in the table based on slicers is correct. 

When using the "yes" & "no" in a card.  The slicers i have on column 'a' for example do not impact the count.   
The card results in the total counts of "yes" & "no".  

Does this make sense? 

 

Cheers

Thank you.  I am not clear with your question.  Share some data and show the expected result.
