HI there,
It maybe a silly question, please, forgive me, but I think it is crazy.
I have a table with column that has "IN" and "OUT" only value.
I need 2 very simple measures.
Exams IN = CALCULATE(count(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ID]), V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ExamProvider]="IN")
_Exams OUT = CALCULATE(count(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ID]), V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ExamProvider]="OUT")
First measure works and return a correct value, second measure returns BLANK.
I also tried this ways and it is the same BLANK value return:
Exams OUT = CALCULATE(count(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ID]), V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ExamProvider] <>"IN")
_Exams OUT = CALCULATE(count(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ID]), FILTER(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1, V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ExamProvider]= "OUT" ))
_Exams OUT = CALCULATE(count(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ID]), FILTER(V_PBI_EXM_DATA1, V_PBI_EXM_DATA1[ExamProvider]<> "IN" ))
Note:
there are no empty or null values in [ExamProvider] field, onlu IN and OUT
In Power BI in table view mode I can see both values.
Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
Solved! Go to Solution.
powerbi/dax can be strange (but it will follow logic). You might have seen the "auto-exist" problem but I would have to see the original pbix to know for sure.
I deleted the table form PBI and relinked it again. it is working now. So strange.
Thank you for your help!

I have a lot of data there that I cannot share. That is why I was trying to create new pbix with 2 tables only and stripped fields. Is there a way to guide me where amd what to look for?
Hi @HotChilli,
I created new pbix and did a table copy with few columns only. imported Calendar table.
Both measures seems work properly.
If I link 2 filtered tables to my original pbix - one for IN and another for OUT -- measures work as well.
I am wondering if there is something in a table I have to look for?
still it is strange but you never know.
Thank you
Can you provide the pbix please and I'll have a look
