DAX to Filter an existing measure

Consider the following table with tasks per user.

UsernameTask NameStatus
User1Task1Completed
User1Task2Incomplete
User1Task3Completed
User2Task1Completed
User2Task2Completed
User2Task3Completed

I have a measure that calculates the percentage of Tasks completed per user that looks like this:

 

 

Measure Percentage Completion Per User =

var TasksCompleted =
SUMX(
VALUES('Table'[Username]),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Task Name]),'Table'[Status]="Completed"))
)
var TasksIncomplete = 
SUMX(
VALUES('Table'[Username]),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Task Name]),'Table'[Status]="Incomplete"))
)
RETURN
TasksCompleted/TasksIncomplete+TasksCompleted

 

 

The result is:

User1: 66.6%

User2: 100%

This all works well until I attempt to then use the above measure to create percentage brackets.

Say, how many users have 80%-100% completion, how many have 60%-80% completion, etc.


I tried to create a measure for each bracket like this but it doesn't return the correct result:

 

 

CompletionBracket%80-100 = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Username]),filter('Table',[Measure Percentage Completion Per User]>=0.8 && [Measure Percentage Completion Per User]<=1))

Hi @WorkHard 

For "Percentage Completion Per User" try this:

 

Percentage Completion Per User = 
VAR _User =
    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' )
VAR _Complete =
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Status] = "Completed" )
RETURN
    _Complete / _User

 

 

and for "CompletionBracket%80-100" try this:

 

CompletionBracket%80-100 = 
VAR _A =
    FILTER (
        SUMMARIZE (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Username],
            "PerCom", [Percentage Completion Per User]
        ),
        [Percentage Completion Per User] >= 0.8
            && [Percentage Completion Per User] <= 1
    )
RETURN
    COUNTAX ( _A, [Username] )

 

 

the output:

@WorkHard You need to get your users and ADDCOLUMNS your measure in a table variable. Then you can filter that table variable and COUNTROWS on in it. Like:

Measure 80-100 = 
  VAR __Table = 
    ADDCOLUMNS(
      DISTINCT('Table'[Username]),
      "__Measure",[Measure Percentage Completion Per User]
    )
RETURN
  COUNTROWS(FILTER(__Table,[__Measure]>=.8 && [__Measure]<=1))
