I think I have just been staring at this for too long and have worked myself into a corner.
So let's say I have the following data:
I have locations that get monthly utility usage numbers. I want to create a clustered bar chart that shows how many months have data.
The "Merge_Use" column can have numbers, blanks, and N/A. Any number OR N/A is considered complete. A blank or null is incomplete.
I want a clustered bar chart that shows % complete, and is split by quarter and metric type, that shows the global total % complete, but can be filtered to show the % complete by region or individual location (relationships for TRT_ID to region is housed in a separate table). For some reason I can't wrap my mind around the measure that would do that.
This was my first try. I used a calculated column, but it wasn't until after I got to the visual stage that I realized that my calculated column is static and won't be affected by filtering. (It sounds silly now but I made a column that assigned each completed field a % out of the total fields, i.e. 1/total # rows, thinking I could just sum these together in the visual).
How would -you- do this?

Solved! Go to Solution.
I may have solved my own problem.
I added a conditional column with Yes/No for completed based off my criteria. (i.e. if "" then "No", else "Yes")
Added the following measure:

That's the method I was thinking: create a new conditional column in Power Query to define "Complete" vs "Incomplete" and the use the column to filter the visual with a COUNT measure over CALCULATE([COUNT Measure], ALLSELECTED())

It seems to be working the way I want it to so far! Now onto my next problem, haha. Thank you for your time!
Please share some sample, non-confidential data or a link to a PBIX file and a depiction of the expected output.
please include rows where Merge_Type is either a number, N/A, blank or 0 (as per your brief) to be able to provide a working solution.

I provided a screenshot of the data table and the expected visual; should it be in a different format?
Please post it as actual data (not an image) so we can copy and paste it into a PBIX file (and please include rows with Blank and N/A)
