Hi everyone,
New to Power BI. Simple task but cant seem to figure out which function/s needs to be applied. Pretty sure I need to create a calculated measure to achieve this.
I have a data set with the following normalized column data;
years. 1985, 1990, 1992, 1991, 2000, 2000, 2001 etc.business
business name; various business names
employee; employee names for associated business
Question to answer: create a tab/graph which shows per year for every business with less than 10 staff
I can figure out the number of companies with less than 10 but dont know how to filter/summarize based on year.
Output should look like this.
Year Count
2000 5
2001 20
2002 14
2003 32
etc
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
In this scenario, you need to create a calculated table to filter the Business with more that 10 Employees.
Table = FILTER ( SUMMARIZE ( Business, Business[Year], Business[Business], "Count Of Employees", COUNTA ( Business[Employee] ) ), [Count Of Employees] > 10 )
Then create a measure in new calculated table to calculate the count of business.
Count Of Business = COUNTA('Table'[Business])
Drag Year and above measure into a table visual will get your expected result.
See my sample below:

I don't think i fully understood your issue. However if you want to create a new table with Year, business name and employee. you can use Summarize function and create a new table.

SUMMARIZE(<table>, <groupBy_columnName>[, <groupBy_columnName>]…[, <name>, <expression>]…)
