How do I count rows and exclude certain text?

I see lots of answers on how to count rows containing certain text, but I need to count rows of text that do not contain the word "Open". How do I do this?

Yes! That worked! Thank you SO much! Been struggling all morning on that. I am a relatively new user.

Unfortunately, this didn't work. Is there another piece to the code?

I just sent you the FILTER (which you need to use inside CALCULATE).

 

Create a new measure like this :

 

YourMeasure = CALCULATE( COUNT('YourTable'[YourColumn]),FILTER('YourTable', NOT(CONTAINSSTRING('YourTable'[YourColumn], "Open")))

 

Have a nice day.

Hello @jvanarsdale ,

 

You can use NOT() in your filter.

 

Would looks like :

 

 

 

FILTER('YourTable', NOT(CONTAINSSTRING('YourTable'[YourColumn], "Open"))

 

 

The measure would be :

 

 

YourMeasure = CALCULATE( COUNT('YourTable'[YourColumn]),FILTER('YourTable', NOT(CONTAINSSTRING('YourTable'[YourColumn], "Open")))

 

Have a nice day
