Create a new flag column with subquery filtering

Team, Can someone please help me with the below request?
I have a SalesTransaction table like below. I need to create a Flag column with this condition.

 

Condition: First I have to find the Transaction IDs for Account ID = 3 and Flag it as TRUE and Also, I have to check if those transactions IDs  (in Account ID =3) are repeating for any other Account IDs. If yes, I have to Flag those rows also as TRUE.

 

I'm able to find those records in SQL with the below code

 

SELECT * FROM SalesTransaction 
WHERE TRANSACTION ID  IN (select TRANSACTION ID from [SalesTransaction] WHERE
[ACCOUNT ID] = 3)

 

 

Account IDTransaction IDTransaction AmountFlag
1234387TRUE
13453456TRUE
14565644FALSE
2987345TRUE
28765677FALSE
323468956TRUE
33454567TRUE
3987567TRUE
4123457FALSE
42345678TRUE

 

Not sure how to do this in Power BI. Can someone please help me with this.

Thanks!!

Hi, @Anonymous 

You can try to  create a calculated column as below and apply it as a visual filter.

New Flag =
VAR _tab1 =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( SalesTransaction ), SalesTransaction[ACCOUNT ID] = 3 ),
        SalesTransaction[TRANSACTION ID]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        COUNTROWS (
            FILTER (
                _tab1,
                SalesTransaction[Transaction ID] = EARLIER ( SalesTransaction[Transaction ID] )
            )
        ) > 0,
        TRUE (),
        FALSE ()
    )

@Anonymous , You can try a measure like

measure =
var _tab = summarize(filter(allselected(SalesTransaction),Table[ACCOUNT ID] = 3), Table[TRANSACTION ID])
return
countrows(filter(SalesTransaction,Table[SalesTransaction] in _tab))

 

or use this as a visual level filter and check for not blank

Hey @amitchandak Thanks for your quick response. Can you please check the last line of your code please. I think I'm missing something. I didn't get Table[SalesTransaction] and more over I want to create it as a new Flag column.

Thanks!!

@amitchandak - Looks like your measure is working. But, since it is a measure I'm not able to use it as Slicer.
Also, If I use this measure as a visual filter, I notice a huge performance issue. The table taking very long time to load everytime.

Thanks!
