Filtering/duplicates/count words - not sure where this would sit in Power BI topics

I have a spreadsheet with a list of 2 courses, learners names and completion status.   I have made one table to show learners incomplete in one course. I have made another table to show learners in...

    Hi Whibley92 ,
    As you said, there can only be two arguments after the filter, so if you want to make a judgment based on two conditions, then you can use the logical operator || to splice the two arguments together.

    Measure

    Incomplete Both Courses = 
    COUNTROWS(
        FILTER(
            SUMMARIZE(
                FILTER(
                    'Table',
                    'Table'[Status] = "Incomplete" || 'Table'[Status] = "Pending"
                ),
                'Table'[Learner number],
                "Incomplete Count", 
                COUNT('Table'[Status])
            ),
            [Incomplete Count] = 2
        )
    )

    Final output

Hi Whibley92 ,
Here some steps that I want to share, you can check them if they suitable for your requirement.
Here is my test data:

Course 1 unfinished


Course 2 unfinished


1.Ensure that the names of the trainees are related between the two tables

2.Create a measure

Incomplete Both Courses = 
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS('Course 1 unfinished'), 
        FILTER('Course 1 unfinished', 
        'Course 1 unfinished'[Status] = "Incomplete" && RELATED('Course 2 unfinished'[Status]) = "Incomplete"
        )
    )

3.Apply measure as filter of the table


4.Final output

 

Best regards,

Albert He

    Is there a way to do this if all the results were in one table? Learner number Course title Status #1 Course 1 Complete #2 Course 1 Incomplete #3 Course 1 Complete #4 Course 1 Complete #5 Course 1 Complete #6 Course 1 Complete #1 Course 2 Incomplete #2 Course 2 Incomplete #3 Course 2 Complete #4 Course 2 Incomplete #5 Course 2 Incomplete #6 Course 2 Complete

        This works great thank you. 

         

        How would I add more than one status types to count - I forgot we also have a Pending which needs to be included. I tried "Incomplete", "Pending" but it says - Too many arguments were passed to the FILTER function. The maximum argument count for the function is 2.

         

        Would I just add a new column and mark Pending as Incomplete?
