Hello,
I've been working on this calculation for a while and couldn't get the right results. Please help.
Table 1
Notification File
B28346 F12
E46284 B05
B28346 F12
B28346 D98
FG4782 B05
B29390 ---
Heke20 --
Table 2
Notification
B28346
E46284
B28346
B28346
FG4782
These two tables are many-to-many relationship. I need to create a calculation in Table 2.
To find the count of file per notification, if file is null, result should be 0.
I have tried:
1) CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(table1[FILE])),ALLEXCEPT('table1','table1'[notification]),FILTER(Pictures,Pictures[FILE] <> ""))
2) CALCULATE(SUM(table1[count_of_id]),ALLEXCEPT(table1,table1[NOTIFication]))
Thanks for your helps.

Hi @Kylie1920 ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create calculated column in Table1.
COUNT = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table1'[File]),FILTER(ALL(Table1),'Table1'[Notification]=EARLIER('Table1'[Notification])))
2. Create calculated column in Table 2.
Column =
IF(
'Table2'[Notification] IN SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"1",'Table1'[Notification]),
CALCULATE(MAX('Table1'[COUNT]),FILTER(ALL(Table1),'Table1'[Notification]='Table2'[Notification]))
,0)
3. Result:

Hello Liu,
I was able to create the "count" and the "column" for both tables 1 and 2. However, the issue occurs when table 2 has more than one record of notifications. The calculation results tend to multiply by the line of records.
For example:
Table 1:
Notification File "count"
B2834 83746 1
Table 2:
Notification "column"
B2834 6
How do I avoid the "column" from multiplying? Table 2 data has 6 records of notifications B2834.
Please ignore the reply above. I just realized I had "sum" as summarize.
