From excel to PBI, how to achieve the same thing (Count cells >0)

I have an excel file which is now to big for excel that we want to migrate to PBI. But as a newbie on PBI I have no clue on how to manage something that was pretty easy in excel in PBI. 

In excel a formula allows to easily count the number of cells that contains a figure, in PBI we can't.

 

For each day, we need for each car divide the milage of each name by the number of time the car brand is used.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @TheBaz_57 ,

 

You could create a measure to get the counting.

Count =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Table'[Milage] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        [Car] = MAX ( 'Table'[Car] )
            && [Date] = MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
    )
)

Then you can calcualted the divided values.

Divided =
DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Milage] ), [Count] )

Thank you for the reply, maybe I wrongly described what I needed.

Here Chevy appears 5 times.

And hence as per your calculation

But instead, I want that each appearance count 1. No matter is it was used several ime by same name. 

So I would need to have a total of 3 for chevy on 01/11.

I have tried several methods, with countdistinct, etc but couldn't get what I needed 😫

 

 

 

 

hi @TheBaz_57 ,

COUNTROWS('Table')

Hi @TheBaz_57 ,

you can try this measure:

DIVIDE(
   SUM('Table'[Milage]),
   CALCULATE(
             COUNTROWS('Table'),
             ALL('Table'[Name])
             )
     )
