Countrows from another table

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.
