DAX COUNTX giving wrong results

[Anonymous]

Hi, I am trying to get my code to count the number of dates that have a rank or 5 or anything below 5. I tried to do this with the code below but it doesn't seem to work, could any one help please?
(Heres an image of my dashboard; instead of counting the right number of dates at 5 or under , it counts every date)

Bottom 5 = 

VAR N = 5
RETURN


    COUNTX(

            SUMMARIZE (

                'Date Table','Date Table'[Year and Month],"total"

                ,

                RANKX(all('Date Table'[Year and Month]),

   CALCULATE(SUM(Data[Value])),,ASC,Dense))

          

        ,

        IF([total]<=N,[total],BLANK()))

try like this:

Bottom Nth Value = 
COUNTROWS(
    FILTER(
        ALL( 'Date Table' ),
        RANKX(
            ALL( 'Date Table' ),
            [TotalValue], , DESC, Dense
        ) < 6
    )
)

For your measure to work you need to remove the filter from  'Year and Month' and from 'Date' such as below:

Bottom 5 =
VAR N = 5
RETURN
    COUNTX (
        SUMMARIZE (
            'Date Table',
            'Date Table'[Year and Month],
            "total", RANKX (
                ALL ( 'Date Table'[Year and Month], 'Date Table'[Date] ),
                CALCULATE (
                    SUM ( Data[Value] )
                ),
                ,
                ASC,
                DENSE
            )
        ),
        IF (
            [total] <= N,
            [total],
            BLANK ()
        )
    )

Hi,

If you want to add up the values form the Data Table appearing against the bottom 5 ranking Year/Month, then try this measure

=Measure = SUMX(FILTER(SUMMARIZE(VALUES('Date Table'[Year and Month]),[Year and Month],"ABCD",[Rank],"EFGH",SUM(Data[Value])),[ABCD]<=5),[EFGH])

The answer is 308K

Hope this helps.

Hi @Ashish_Mathur,

Thank you for your reponse, though i am looking to count not sum the bottom 5 rankings Year/Month
The answer should be 5 instead of 24 but my code with countx keeps giving me 24 even if the condition i placed in the form of an if statement, tells it to only count the ranks ranked at 5 or below. Instead the code seems to carry out the count on every date hence the 24 result.

I guess what i do not understand is why my condition and code is not working

Hi,

Try this

Measure = COUNTOWS(FILTER(SUMMARIZE(VALUES('Date Table'[Year and Month]),[Year and Month],"ABCD",[Rank],"EFGH",SUM(Data[Value])),[ABCD]<=5))
