DAX count with count filter

I am needing help with a complex formula needed for error checking.  This all needs to be done in DAX (not in the Query editor) as there are dynamic filters in the report that need to impact these co...

Hi bvanevr

 

Try this

 

Go to Modelling Tab and press the "NEW TABLE" button

 

New Table =
FILTER (
    SUMMARIZE (
        TableName,
        TableName[Sold to],
        "ID Count", DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableName[ID] )
    ),
    [ID Count] > 1
)

Thanks for the fast response

 

I was able to create the table, but it does not allow for dynamic filtering from within the report.  For example if the user does not want status = X  In that case the count for Sold-to = 1 would not be 3 but 2  and Sold to = 2 would be 1 and would be filtered out.

 

Returns counts of

1          | 2

2         | 1

3         | 1

 

Filter for > 1 -- Sold to # 1 has 2 associated ID's which is an error

1          | 2

    Hi, Use this Measure in the Table. Then you can add a slicer for Status

     

    ID Count =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableName[ID] ),
    FILTER (
        VALUES ( TableName[Sold to] ),
        CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( TableName[ID] ) > 1 )
    )
)

        Thanks Zubair,

         

        I was able to replicate your solution.  

         

        Would you be able to help with 2 phase of my question?  I need to be able to provide users with an item to click that would act as a filter to only display those records >1 independent of the dynamic filter for Status.  Idealy a table with one value "Click to Filter Mult IDs".

         

        In the past I used a 2nd table to map values, but since we are generating the count on the fly so the count is not a column in the ingested table, I cant create a relationship on the count.
