Help with COUNT and Filter on Text
So the answer that i posted before will help you create the table.
To provide more details simply create a table and Drag and Drop the Month as Dimension.
Then create a new measure using the formula that i have put in the previous message.
Add the measure to the table
rosscortb Sample data will be really helpful. I hope you are looking for below DAX.
Absence Rate = COUNTROWS(FILTER('DB Headcount','DB Headcount'[Month] = "September"))Thats worked. You're the man. :)
Alternatively you can use the following formula without using the FILTER word
Absence Rate = CALCULATE(Count('DB Headcount'[Month]),'DB Headcount'[Month] = "September")
Thanks, one other question, how do it get to return the count per rows for each month please?
I thought i could just change the 'Septemer' to [month] but its giving me the overall total count.
Headcount = COUNTROWS(FILTER('DB Headcount','DB Headcount'[Month] = [Month]))
If i understand correctly you want to count the rows per Month. Is this correct?
Why dont you create a table with Month as the Dimension and the Measure will be the following:
Measure = Count('DB Headcount'[Month])Also if the previous formula posted works ok as well, you can mark it as another correct answer. This will help other users
I have a headcount table with all employees for April, All employees for May etc
And I was creating a column to tell me that there is 2300 employees in April and 2400 in May etc
P.S I have a month table also
