Hi,
I have a detailed data model and I would like to calculate how many transactions there are with n items per transaction.
In SQL this would look something like this:
select numOfItems, count(*) as transactions
from (
select transaction_id, count (*) as numOfItems
from trans_articles
group by transaction_id
) temp
group by numOfItems
However I have no idea how a DAX-measure could look like that generates a result like this.
I've added a .pbix file with some demo data as well as a python-visualisation of the expected / desired result.
You can download it here.
Could someone help, please?
Thanks in advance
Justus

Hi , @Jayshamone
According to your description, and thanks for your sample .pbix fike , you want to get the data the same as your sql.
Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)We need to create a dimension table like your [numOfItem], we can click "New Table" and enter this:
Table = var _max_items =MAXX( SUMMARIZE('Tabelle1', 'Tabelle1'[transaction_id], "count" ,COUNT('Tabelle1'[item_position])) , [count])
return
GenerateSeries(1,_max_items)
And the table we do not create any relationship between the other tables.
(2)Then we can create two measures:
Measure = var _summrize_tranid = SUMMARIZE('Tabelle1', 'Tabelle1'[transaction_id], "count" ,COUNT('Tabelle1'[item_position]))
var _cur_item_count = MAX('Table'[Value])
var _count = COUNTROWS( FILTER(_summrize_tranid , [count] = _cur_item_count))
return
_count
Right Total = SUMX( VALUES('Table'[Value]) , [Measure])
(3)Then we can put the 'Table'[Value] and the [Right Total] on the table visual and we can meet your need:

Thank you for the transparent and easy to understand step-by-step solution
@Jayshamone , You have to create a measure first and then create a dynamic segmentation
cnt = count(Table[Transaction ID])
