Count if something in column 1, matches whats in column 2

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to count how many times something in column one matches what is in column 2. I have put an example below - 

I would like to count how many times the proof contact is the same as the sales person. Can anyone help? A total count is fine, so in this example it would be 2.

Thanks,

Hi, this measure will do the trick: 

Matches = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data), FILTER(Data, [Proof contact] = [Sales person]))
Hope this helps.

Hey @Anonymous ,

using DAX you can create a calcualted column like so:

isequal = IF(<tablename>[Sales person] = <tablename>[Proof contact] , 1 , blank() )

Then you can use the new column on a card visual.

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking.

Regards,

Tom
