Hi,
I'm using a parameter 'Target' to determine a Target
1 can be changed to a chosen value
2 updates with a status depending on whether the 'Actual' Values match the Target Values and generate a Delta Status
so far so good
Am having trouble with the approach/syntax for 3 as I don't have a 'table' to obtain the data from.
I'd like the measure to count the number of rows in table 'A' which have a 'Delta Status' of 'Met Plan'
The table doesnt exist as a searchable entity as it's only generated when the measures are added to it. Am guessing I need to generate an equivalent table within a measure?
What's the best method of fixing the measure '3' so that this displays the number of rows from Table A where the Location per week number has a Delta Status of 'Met Plan'
Normally spend most of my time in PowerQuery and this is a first attempt at using parameters so would appreciate any guidance/help.

The measure i'd appreciate help with is 'Total Met Plan'
Thanks
Richard
Solved! Go to Solution.
Total Met Plan =
var a = SUMMARIZE(Actuals_By_Location,Actuals_By_Location[Location],Actuals_By_Location[Week Number],"d",[Delta Status])
return countrows(filter(a,[d]="Met Plan"))
Hi,
This measure works
Total Met Plan = COUNTROWS(FILTER(GENERATE(VALUES(Actuals_By_Location[Location]),VALUES(Actuals_By_Location[Week Number])),[Delta From Plan]>=0))
Hope this helps.
@Ashish_Mathur @lbendlin Thanks a lot for the responses. I'd never used GENERATE or SUMMARIZE before so appreciate the lesson.

Thanks Ashish for the response. This works perfectly
