Getting value from another table (timeperiod)
I have a measure that takes every unique timeperiod value from a dimension-table and then calculates what value falls in that timeperiod in the fact-table and counts them. I want to create a graph showcasing the timeperiod values on x and the count on y. But the value is off.
The problem is that the X-axis only counts one row on the starting value and not the other periods of time. Does anybody know how to fix this? To illustrate: Starting time is 15:00 and ending time 17:00, it only counts one value at 15:00 instead of counting 1 value at 16:00 and 1 at 17:00. The measure counts the total correct, but the problem occurs when trying to showcase it on a graph
For your question, here is the method I provided:
Here's some dummy data
"dim"
"fact"
Create a measure. Counts the values in the fact table for that time period.
count num = var _dimtime = SELECTEDVALUE('dim'[Time]) var _facttime = SELECTEDVALUE('fact'[Time]) RETURN IF( _dimtime = _facttime, CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('fact'), FILTER('fact', 'fact'[Time] = MAX('fact'[Time]))), 0 )Here is the result.

Hi,
Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file. Show the expected result in a Table format.
