Count occurrences until certain value

[DaanBos]

Dear all,

I want to count the iterations required to get an amount of 50 throughput. Below is the code I created. But the problem now is that it gives the same value in the entire column. Does anyone know the answer?

CountIt = 
VAR RandomIterations = 0
VAR TotalThroughput = 0
VAR ThroughputNeeded = 50
VAR RandomThroughput = CALCULATE(
    VALUES('Iterties'[Throughput]),
    FILTER(
        'Iterties',
        'Iterties'[Iteratie] = EARLIER(Monte_Carlo_Simulation[Random]) --ROUND(RANDBETWEEN(1, COUNTROWS(Iterties)), 0)--
    )
)
VAR UpdatedTotalThroughput = TotalThroughput + RandomThroughput

RETURN
IF(
    UpdatedTotalThroughput < ThroughputNeeded,
    COUNTAX(VALUES('Iterties'[Iteratie]), 1),
    0
)

Greets,

Daan

In the meantime, they have come up with a measure that seems to work, but with the wrong results.
Here's the code:

CountItmes = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTAX(
        VALUES('Iterties'[Iteratie]),
        VAR RandomSelection = RANDBETWEEN(1, COUNTROWS(VALUES('Iterties'[Iteratie])))
        VAR ThroughputNeeded = 20
        RETURN
        IF (
            SUMX(
                FILTER(
                    'Iterties',
                    RANKX(VALUES('Iterties'[Iteratie]), 'Iterties'[Iteratie], , ASC) <= RandomSelection
                ),
                'Iterties'[Throughput]
            ) >= ThroughputNeeded,
            1
        )
    )
)
