Hi all,
I'm trying my luck again as my previous post might've been complicated. I'll try to simplify this post.
I have created the below Variable - to produce & isolate a list of Customers that are based in City = Hobart.
VAR HOBART =
CALCULATETABLE (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
VALUES (Customer),
"City", Customer[City],
"Code", Customer[Customer Code]
),
Customer[City] = "Hobart"
)
I have then created another Variable for my Product Table that Filters for Red or Black Color.
VAR REDORBLACK =
FILTER(
VALUES('Product'[Color]),
OR(
'Product'[Color] = "Red",
'Product'[Color] = "Black"
)
)
I now want to produce an output where I am only looking for Customers that are based in Hobart that have Products Red or Black. Basically, VAR HOBART to Filter VAR REDORBLACK. The output should look something like.
| City | Customer Code | Red or Black Count |
| Hobart | 1 | 3 |
| Hobart | 2 | 10 |
| Hobart | 9 | 1 |
I am using a Published dataset with a lot of rows for Customers table & as a result, I'm trying to create a Variable for Hobart to avoid errors with processsing millions of Rows.
Hope someone can provide some suggestions.
Thanks.

Hi @arnomics ,
Based on your description, I have created a simple sample:
Please try:
Table =
var _a = FILTER('Customer',[City]="Hobart")
return SUMMARIZE(_a,[City],Customer[Customer Code],"Red or Black Count",CALCULATE(COUNT('Product'[Product Code]),FILTER('Product',[Color] in {"Red","Black"})))
Output:

Since I am using a Published dataset I cannot create a Table in the Data Model. But instead I was hoping to create a Measure that would allow me to drag & drop Columns from the table different tables with the Measure that I created.

@arnomics , Simple create one measure or two measures
calculate(countrows(Table), filter(Product, Product[Color] in {"Red", "Black"} ))
if you create a new table, that table should join to your fact and then use countrows(table) measure
Thanks for your reply @amitchandak
The main issue is that I'm using a Published Dataset and adding New Tables, Columns etc. is greyed out. It stops me from doing lot of things that would make my life easier.
