Hi all,
I have a Count problem that I can't seem to find an answer to.
I have two tables Events and Event_Categories:
| Event |
| ID |
| 111 |
| 112 |
| 113 |
| 114 |
| Event_categories | |
| Event_ID | Category |
| 111 | A |
| 111 | B |
| 112 | A |
| 113 | B |
| 114 | C |
I also have a slicer with the category values.
I want to create a measure with the distinct count of Event_ID where the Event_ID is present for all selected Category values.
For example: if I select from my slicer the values A and B the distinct count should return 1 (as only Event_ID 111 matches on the selected values - if I selected only category value B it should return a distinct count of 2).
I need the measure to also work on a table visual with the Event[ID] value, such as below for Category values A and B:
| Event | |
| ID | Distinct_count |
| 111 | 1 |
| 112 | 0 |
| 113 | 0 |
| 114 | 0 |
Any suggestions on how I can create a measure with the expected output would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
Please try this below DAX
cnt =
VAR _Combine =
CONCATENATEX(
Event_categories,
Event_categories[Event ID],","
)
VAR _CountRows=
COUNTX(
VALUES(Events[ID]),
_Combine
)
RETURN
_CountRows
Hi vk_pbi,
Thank you for the reply.
I tried the DAX and it returns a distinct count where the category is A OR B whereas I'm hoping to return a count where Event_ID is present for all of the selected slicer values (i.e. A and B):
In the above example the desired result would be 1
I think, i made it a bit complicated, but lets check it out
cnt =
VAR _NoofselectedValues =
COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED(Event_categories[Category]))
VAR _Combine =
CONCATENATEX(
Event_categories,
Event_categories[Event_ID],","
)
VAR _Combine_cat =
CONCATENATEX(
Event_categories,
Event_categories[Category],","
)
VAR _CountRows=
IF(
NOT CONTAINSSTRING(
MAX(Event_categories[Category]),
_Combine_cat
),
COUNTX(
VALUES(Events[ID]),
_Combine
),
BLANK()
)
VAR _Result1 =
IF(
_NoofselectedValues >1,
_CountRows,
COUNTX( VALUES(Events[ID]),_Combine)
)
RETURN
_Result1
