CountRows problem

[SBR1D]

Hi Everyone

Below is a simplified version of my actual table.

I have a slicer where a user can select an Employer name ( A,B,C,D), when they choose an employer I want to get a count of all of the selected IDs in the table.  Here is my current formula..

Number of ParentIDs = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Learning Plan'),'Learning Plan'[ParentID] =SELECTEDVALUE(Employer[ParentId]),USERELATIONSHIP('Learning Plan'[EmployerId],Employer[EmployerId]))

Problem is, if you select Employer A its only counting A's when it should be counting AA's aswell as they have the same ParentEmployerID. 

Please help

Employer	ParentEmployerID
A	1
AA	1
C	3
D	4
AA	1
A	1
AA	1
D	4
DD	4

Hi @SBR1D 

With just the data provided, here's a sample formula:

Number of Parent IDs =
VAR __PARENT_ID =
    SUMMARIZE (
        CALCULATETABLE (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Employer] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Employer] ),
            REMOVEFILTERS ()
        ),
        'Table'[ParentEmployerID]
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Learning Plan' ),
        'Learning Plan'[ParentID] IN __PARENT_ID,
        USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Learning Plan'[EmployerId], Employer[EmployerId] )
    )

Otherwise, please provide  a sanitized copy of your pbix.

That looks good but what about the selected value part please?

The original formula takes into account that you might select more than one value which, in this case, SELECTEDVALUE will not work. If you want just a single selection:

Number of Parent IDs =
VAR __PARENT_ID =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[ParentEmployerID] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( 'Learning Plan' ),
        'Learning Plan'[ParentID] = __PARENT_ID,
        USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Learning Plan'[EmployerId], Employer[EmployerId] )
    )
