Now i would like add a value as NA to the column and do union of both the above query and the new value.
So i have written below DAX.
EVALUATE
UNION
(
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(Projects,"Top_ProjectManager","NA"))
,
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Projects[Top_ProjectManager],
KEEPFILTERS( FILTER( ALL( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ), NOT( ISBLANK( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ))))
)
//ORDER BY
//Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ASC
)
With this i am able to add NA as new row vlaue but the thing i am loosing the order of the summerizecolumns query in it.
So the final output should be, NA should be top, then followed by the Order by on top_projectmanager is asc order.
Can anyone help me on this.
Thanks,
Mohan V.
here i wrote an example of what you want
try the same as i write.
but my table is called (table) and you have it called (Projects), don't forget that!
You need to add sort column like this
ADDCOLUMNS(
UNION
(
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(Projects,"Top_ProjectManager","NA"))
,
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Projects[Top_ProjectManager],
KEEPFILTERS( FILTER( ALL( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ), NOT( ISBLANK( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ))))
) ," Order" if ( [Top_ProjectManager] = "NA",0, RANKX(All(Projects[Top_ProjectManager]),[Top_ProjectManager],,ASC))
Thanks for the reply @Ahmedx
I tried to edit it and check the code but it throwing an error that the addcolumns syntax is wrong.
ADDCOLUMNS(
UNION
(
DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(Projects,"Top_ProjectManager","NA"))
,
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
Projects[Top_ProjectManager],
KEEPFILTERS( FILTER( ALL( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ), NOT( ISBLANK( Projects[Top_ProjectManager] ))))
)
),
"Order",
if([Top_ProjectManager] = "NA",0, RANKX(All(Projects[Top_ProjectManager]),[Top_ProjectManager],,ASC)
)
I see that the parameters it is taking is in place is what i feel.
Can you please check and correct it.
Thanks,
Mohan V.
pls show error
and try this
