Filter by parent row total
This seems like a very simple operation, but I'm farily new to DAX/PowerBI so I need some help.
I'm showing this in an Excel pivot table, but I'm really using this in Power BI desktop.
I have a matrix visualization where I'm looking at which customers use specific kits. I'm trying to identify which kits are unique to customers. In my example below, Kits 1,3, and 5 are used by multiple customers and Kit 2 and Kit 4 are only used by one customer each.
If I only show the Kits and the Count of Customers, I can filter by when the Count = 1. But as soon as I add in the customers into the matrix, I can no longer filter by the count being equal to 1 because all of the counts at the customer level are 1. Do I need to create a distinct count of customers as a variable and then filter on that? I can do this in an Excel Pivot table, but do not know the syntax in PowerBI. Thanks in advance.
Hi alfordtp,
Do I need to create a distinct count of customers as a variable and then filter on that?
Yes. You could create a measure as below.
Measure = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Customer] ), ALL ( Table1[Customer] ) )
Select the Matrix, add this measure to visual level filter and set its value to 1.

Hi alfordtp
you just need to create a measure where you'd remove the filter coming from customers
CALCULATE( <countrows>, ALL( TableName[Customer] ) )
