I have a table "Sales _Offers"
and i have a column "Name_trimmed_striped"
I want to add a new column that make a count for each line how many times it occures
(NOT IN DAX, but still in the import Power Query Editor)
customer | Name_trimmed_striped | the column i want to make |
| a | road123 | 2 |
| a | vestroad412 | 1 |
| v | road123 | 2 |
| b | vestroad41234165 | 1 |
it would be easy to use groupe by, but i need all the lines intact.
it would also be easy to make a new table then group by in that, then merge to 2 to get a value looked up (but since its 19 million lines this seems like a bad idea)
tried to use Table.RowCount and im guessing that is what i need.. but cant fugure out how to make it work
I did not accept this as a solution, sinces it does exactly what i did not want, It was NOT supose to happen in DAX but during import. - also if you want to do it in dax, then there is a much shortwer and more efficiant way to do it using "Earlier"
Count number of occurences = CALCULATE(COUNT('Sales_Offers'[Name_trimmed_striped]), 'Sales_Offers'[Name_trimmed_striped] = EARLIER('Sales_Offers'[Name_trimmed_striped]))
But thank you for taking time to try and help me - and sorry if I did not formulate the question precise in the opening question @Anonymous
This is still not the solution i wanted since i wanted it in import, but it is better than the one that was accepted as a solution (not by me)
Hi @Rygaard ,
Please try below steps:
1. below is my test table
Table:
2. create measure with below dax formula
Measure =
VAR cur_nts =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Name_trimmed_striped] )
VAR tmp =
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Name_trimmed_striped] = cur_nts )
VAR tmp1 =
SUMMARIZE ( tmp, [Name_trimmed_striped], "CTR", COUNT ( [Customer] ) )
VAR _str =
CONCATENATEX ( tmp1, [Name_trimmed_striped] & [CTR], "" )
VAR num =
LEN ( cur_nts )
VAR _val =
MID ( _str, num + 1, LEN ( _str ) )
RETURN
_val
3. add a table visual with fields and measure
Please refer the attached .pbix file.
