Filtering on a CALCULATETABLE function

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.

 

CityCustomer CodeRed or Black Count
Hobart13
Hobart210
Hobart91

 

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 ,

 

You can use viual filter:

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.
