    Hi Anonymous ,

    Please update the formula of measure "Missing count" as below:

    Missing Count = 
VAR _selections =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] )
VAR _countofPeriod =
    COUNTROWS ( _selections )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Employee List'[Employee Name] ),
        'Employee List'[Timesheet Required] = "Yes"
    ) * _countofPeriod
        - CALCULATE (
            COUNT ( 'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] ),
            'Employee List'[Timesheet Required] = "Yes",
            FILTER (
                ALL ( 'Timesheet Hours' ),
                'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] IN _selections
            )
        )

Hi Anonymous ，

According to your screen shot, it seems you didn't create any slicer with field [Period Name]... Then the condition "'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] )" will not get the value, it cause the final value is blank. 

Please create a slicer using the field 'Timesheet Hours'[Period Name] as below screen shot, then check if can get the correct value. Any comment or problem later, please feel free to let me know. Thank you.

Best Regards

Anonymous  Thank you for your reply again. I'm sorry, in my screenshot, the "Period Name" slicer is hidden behind the dax dropdown, but I do have it setup. No matter which checkbox I use, I still see (Blank) Count of Missing. 

 

I copied and pasted your exact measure and even tried re-typing (in case of copy/paste error) exactly as you had it. Still seeing blank. I've tried reading more about some dax measures and I've tried variations of the following:

 

Pending Count = CALCULATE(COUNT('Timesheet Hours'[Employee Name]),
FILTER('Timesheet Hours',[Approval]="Pending"))

 

I was able to use the above to work for my Approved and Pending counts, but I realized that won't work for missing because the missing employees do not show up in 'Timesheet Hours[Employee Name]' because of the fact their timesheet is missing they won't ever appear in the table until it is submitted. 

 

So then I tried moving the [Approval] measure that I referenced in my very first post over to the 'Employee List' table (called [Approval2] and used this measure for missing counts:

 

Missing Count = CALCULATE(COUNT('Employee List'[Employee Name]),
FILTER('Employee List','Employee List'[Approval2]="Missing"))

 

This actually correctly counts the "Missing" employees when clicking on 1 single time period slicer, but if I try to use multiple slicers, the count is wrong (Ex: Jun22-28 has 2 missing, Jun 29-30 has 2 missing, but when I check both boxes, my missing count goes to 1 instead of the expected 4). 

 

 

Any thoughts? If you're able to provide any additional help I really appreciate it! Thank you for your previous time/help as well!

      Anonymous  Unfortuntately I'm still getting (Blank)Missing Count showing up as seen in the screenshot below. I feel like we're so close. I tried a few things somewhat based on your previous measure, but haven't had any luck yet. I'll keep plugging away and reading up more on DAX to see what I can come up with.

       

      Thanks for your help so far and any additional help you may provide!
