[DAX Measure] Correct values, but wrong total

[Mister_T]

Dear Community,

again, I am lost in the depth of Power BI and DAX. Any help greatly appreciated!

I have the following table 'Sales':

Deal ID	Deal Closed	Deal Won	Reseller
001	FALSE	FALSE	A
002	TRUE	FALSE	B
002	TRUE	FALSE	B
002	TRUE	FALSE	C
003	FALSE	FALSE	A
004	TRUE	FALSE	B
005	TRUE	TRUE	A
005	TRUE	TRUE	A
006	TRUE	TRUE	B
007	TRUE	FALSE	A
007	TRUE	FALSE	A
007	TRUE	FALSE	C
008	TRUE	FALSE	A

To find out, which reseller was involved in how many deals close lost, I have created the following measure (using help from this thread).

Please note: For one and the same deal (same Deal ID) it might happen, that

• one reseller is listed several times --> then this reseller should only be counted once per deal
• the deal is handled by more than one reseller --> then each of the resellers involved in the deal should be counted once

COUNT_Reseller_Lost = 
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Reseller] ),
        'Sales'[Deal Closed] = TRUE ()
            && 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()
        )
    )

This measure brings me the ring counts for each reseller, but unfortunately, the total is wrong!

How to I have to adjust the measure, that both the values for each Reseller and the Total are displayed correctly?

Thank you very much!

Hi @Mister_T ,

Create a second measure:

#Result = 
IF(HASONEVALUE('Sales'[Reseller]),
[COUNT_Reseller_Lost],
SUMX(VALUES('Sales'[Reseller]), [COUNT_Reseller_Lost])
)

Thank you @ERD!

Works like a charm! 🙂

Thanks again for your help! Greatly appreciated.

@Mister_T , Try

COUNT_Reseller_Lost =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),
FILTER ('Sales' ,
coalesce(CALCULATE(Max('Sales'[Deal Closed]) , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] )), false()) =True(),
&& 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()
)
)

Hi @amitchandak,

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, your DAX formula returns
"The syntax for '&&' is incorrect. (DAX(CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),FILTER ('Sales' ,coalesce(CALCULATE(Max('Sales'[Deal Closed]) , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] )), false()) =True(),&& 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()))))."

Deleting the ',' after "TRUE ()",

COUNT_Reseller_Lost_NEW = 
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),
    FILTER ('Sales' ,
        COALESCE (
            CALCULATE(
                Max('Sales'[Deal Closed]) ,
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] )
                ),
            FALSE ()
            )
        =TRUE ()
        && 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()
        )
    )

lets the formula pass as measure, but as soon as I want to use it in a vizual, I get the error message

Any alternative to 'MAX' when it cannot work with BOOLEAN?

Thanks a lot!

@Mister_T , Try like

COUNT_Reseller_Lost_NEW = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ), FILTER ('Sales' , COALESCE ( CALCULATE( Count('Sales'[Deal Closed]), 'Sales'[Deal Closed] = TRue() , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] ) ), 0 ) <>0 && 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE () ) )

Thank you, @amitchandak! Your help is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunatelly, here again, I get an error message, when using this measure as value for a table (or any other) visual:

"The function COUNT cannot work with values of type Boolean."

Best regards,
