Help Converting an Excel countifs function into Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and new to Power-Bi and I really need a little help.

I have been given an excel sheet and asked to convert it to Power-Bi. I am really stuck with 1 formula in particular.

The excel formula is...

=COUNTIFS($G$4:$G$2000,G4,$H$4:$H$2000,1)

Range = Aisle Column

Criteria = 1st Cell In Aisle Column

Range2 = Orderlines

Criteria2 = 1

I hope that this makes sense ?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous,

This should be possible with a calculated column formula.  Share the link from where i can download your file.

Hi,

Thanks guys for taking the time to have a look and try to help 🙂

Please try this link to the excel file. https://1drv.ms/x/s!AraHh-vwAl8dgU2WZDIaPRQmV0Bq

and this link for the extract from Powerbi. https://1drv.ms/x/s!AraHh-vwAl8dgVE6xMUtsW9SsAQH   

I have managed to add an order line count. i still need the last 2 columns from the excel sheet adding to PowerBi .

The Table i am using in PowerBi is called Orderwell Summary.

Hi @Anonymous

Try this calculated column for "number of single picks in aisle for single item orders"

number of single picks =
VAR check =
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Orderwell_Summary ),
            Orderwell_Summary[Column1] = EARLIER ( Orderwell_Summary[Column1] )
                && Orderwell_Summary[no. order lines] = 1
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( check >= 1, check, 0 )

Hi,

That seems to work for an overall count on all records but when i use my closed date filter / slider it does not filter this new column qty. it still reads the figure for all data.

Therefore one item will have a figure like 2192 next to it when i am expecting between 1 and 5 for a given day?

Hi,

If you wish to use a slicer, then no calculated column formula approach would work because a slicer selection does not cause a calculated column to recalculate.  Calculated columns are recalculated only at the time of opening the file or when clicking on Refresh.

It will help a lot if you explain the data, the business problem and show your expected result.

Hi @Anonymous

Try this calculated column for "duplicate pick locs for single item orders"

duplicate pick locs =
VAR check =
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( Orderwell_Summary ),
            Orderwell_Summary[Pick-Loc] = EARLIER ( Orderwell_Summary[Pick-Loc] )
                && Orderwell_Summary[no. order lines] = 1
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF ( check >= 1, check, 0 )

Hi @Anonymous,

Actually, there are no concepts of cells and rows like Excel in Power BI. You can try it like below. Please post a sample here. Because we need a function like Max, Min etc. to determine the 1st cell in Aisle column. 

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Table1 ),
    FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Criteria1] = max(1st cell in Aisle column) && Table[Criteria2] = 1 )
)

Best Regards,
