Hi, I'm looking to create a measure for the sample data set below. There is a one-to-many relationship on the Parent ID.

 

I want to count the number of parent IDs with the name Karen who have a female (F) child named Alex. The result I'm looking for woudl be 1. 

 

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, @pbisandie!

Please try the following DAX to create your measure:

CountKarenWithFemaleAlex = 
CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT('Parent Table'[Parent ID]),
    'Parent Table'[Parent Name] = "Karen",
    FILTER(
        'Parent-Child Table',
        'Parent-Child Table'[Child Name] = "Alex" &&
        'Parent-Child Table'[Child Sex] = "F"
    )
)

 

Make sure to replace column and tables names with your owns.
