Hi Everyone,
I have a data aggregation question. My data is in following shape (this is just a sample of data for the large dataset)
| Type | Level 4 | Level 3 | Level 2 |
| Type1 | 10432 | 112808 | 45688 |
| Type1 | 10432 | 112808 | 45688 |
| Type2 | 10438 | 104276 | 703104 |
| Type3 | 254 | 945042 | 250782 |
| Type3 | 254 | 945042 | 312345 |
| Type3 | 254 | 786648 | 124294 |
| Type4 | 165 | 677827 | 390093 |
| Type4 | 165 | 1170683 | 652497 |
I want to develop a DAX formula to develop the result column. I have updated the type column for ease of understanding. Essential the result column segeragate the following types on the basis of two option - Standalone & multi hierarchy. Standalone are those types where unique combination of level 4,3,2 has occured once. Hence, type 2 is standalone. In type 1, we have same combination of of level 4,3,2 & hence it is also standalone. For multi Hierarchy, there must be atleast two combination possible at level 4. As there are atleast 2 condition for each of these rows, hence type 3 & 4 qualify for multi Hierarchy.
Please help with the DAX code to aggregate each result at level 4.
The table will look like this
| Type | Level 4 | Level 3 | Level 2 | Result |
| Type1 | 10432 | 112808 | 45688 | Standalone |
| Type1 | 10432 | 112808 | 45688 | Standalone |
| Type2 | 10438 | 104276 | 703104 | Standalone |
| Type3 | 254 | 945042 | 250782 | Multi Hierarchy |
| Type3 | 254 | 945042 | 312345 | Multi Hierarchy |
| Type3 | 254 | 786648 | 124294 | Multi Hierarchy |
| Type4 | 165 | 677827 | 390093 | Multi Hierarchy |
| Type4 | 165 | 1170683 | 652497 | Multi Hierarchy |

Hi @Anonymous
If you want to create calculated column,you can refer to the following code.
Result =
VAR a =
SUMMARIZE (
'Table',
[Type],
'Table'[Level 4],
'Table'[Level 3],
'Table'[Level 2]
)
VAR b =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( a, [Type] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Type] ) ) )
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (), b = 1, "Standalone", b > 1, "Multi Hierarchy" )
Output
If you want to create measure,you can refer to the following code.
Measure =
VAR a =
SUMMARIZE (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
[Type],
'Table'[Level 4],
'Table'[Level 3],
'Table'[Level 2]
)
VAR b =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( a, [Type] IN VALUES ( 'Table'[Type] ) ) )
RETURN
SWITCH ( TRUE (), b = 1, "Standalone", b > 1, "Multi Hierarchy" )
