Hi,
I trying to do something which I was easily able to when I was using an excel as a data source but now we are using live data from the database and I really need some help.
I am trying to get a similar layout which I had when using excel sheet (these were different columns in my excel sheet so it was easy to create individual visual cards)
This is the output from the database - I have to get this using two tables
1. Roles = names
2. Prsn_ID = Counts of those roles.
I really cant figure out how to have an individual visual card for each role and have the count for it like I could when my data source was just an excel sheet. Maybe need to create a measure? any suggestions and details on how to achieve this.

Hi @Anonymous
I don't think that you will need to create measures to achevie what you have explained in you post.

Hi @Anonymous,
For measures, you can try this:
Athletes =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( table[Prsn_ID] ),
FILTER ( table, table[Roles] = "Athletes" )
)

Hi Rexra,
See these images and tell us if works for you.
This would be amazing if I can display the data like this...It is exactly how Im trying to display them individually in boxes
What would I need to do for this?
