Counting some of fields in a row of a table and excluding the empty fields

Hello everyone,

 

I have a table which has 15 columns. 7 columns have data that I need to do calculation on them. I need to find the percentage of filled fields in those 7 fields. for example, let's say in row 1 of the table 3 of 7 columns are filled out so I will have (3/7)*100 = 42.86%

I need to have this percentage for each row and add a column to my table to display the persentage. Please assist me.

 

Thanks.

@aliasadivet to start with, your data model could probably be improved.  Instead of having seven columns of data, maybe header fields coupled with Field, Value.  Made up data to illustrate the point...

 Header1   Header2   Measure1   Measure2   Measure3 
 ABC                            1.0                         43.7                         64.4                         94.9
 ABC                            2.0                         23.8                         80.5                         35.5
 ABC                            3.0                         22.4                         46.5                         64.9
 ABC                            4.0                         80.4                         67.9                         56.2
 ABC                            5.0                         16.5                         85.1                           3.2
 DEF                            1.0                         28.5                           6.5                         63.5
 DEF                            2.0                         38.4                         30.2                         17.7
 DEF                            3.0                         79.1                         39.4                         47.1
 DEF                            4.0                         83.3                         73.4                         42.3
 DEF                            5.0                         98.5                         38.6                         11.1
 DEF                            6.0                         85.0                         77.8                         85.3

 

Try this

Header1 Header2 Measure Value
ABC 1 1                         43.7
ABC 2 1                         23.8
ABC 3 1                         22.4
ABC 4 1                         80.4
ABC 5 1                         16.5
DEF 1 1                         28.5
DEF 2 1                         38.4
DEF 3 1                         79.1
DEF 4 1                         83.3
DEF 5 1                         98.5
DEF 6 1                         85.0
ABC 1 2                         64.4
ABC 2 2                         80.5
ABC 3 2                         46.5
ABC 4 2                         67.9
ABC 5 2                         85.1
DEF 1 2                           6.5
DEF 2 2                         30.2
DEF 3 2                         39.4
DEF 4 2                         73.4
DEF 5 2                         38.6
DEF 6 2                         77.8
ABC 1 3                         94.9
ABC 2 3                         35.5
ABC 3 3                         64.9
ABC 4 3                         56.2
ABC 5 3                           3.2
DEF 1 3                         63.5
DEF 2 3                         17.7
DEF 3 3                         47.1
DEF 4 3                         42.3
DEF 5 3                         11.1
DEF 6 3                         85.3

 

@aliasadivet after you alter the data model, it should be easier to determine which of the seven measures are present or not.

Thank you!

I just solved my issue using INT function. NewColumn = (INT('Table'[field1])+...INT('Table'[field7]))/7
