I am trying to get a headcount of employees in a matrix. Each employee is assigned a "class" based on full time hourly, full time salary, PRN, or how part time. How do I get the columns to show the count of a combination of classes so all full time are counted together and all prn and all part time? See below - the big one is what I am pulling (by class) and the small inset one is what I am trying to accomplish.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I created a new column and grouped the classes by using =LEFT(Fieldname, # of characters) and it worked.
To make things easier, if you are pulling data, pull them in a flat table in excel then add additional column to group them class 1, class 2 etc in excel using a separate lookup table.
Then use power BI to read it
Not following the pulling them into a flat table in excel? We pull directly from an sql database. I have added new columns to combine first and last name, etc. Just can't figure out the counts.
Flat table as in
RN | Class 1A 8833 | Class 1 | 2 |
RN | Class 3 8833 | Class 3 | 1 |
Easier to count that way in power BI or pivot tables in excel
just my opinion
I created a new column and grouped the classes by using =LEFT(Fieldname, # of characters) and it worked.
