How do I count values based on their counted attribute?
I want to know how many entries a certain dimension has in a fact table under certain conditions. So I created a table and I have a list of the Id's of the dimension and I have a count of the corresponding entries in the fact table with the requires filters on the visual.
What I want to see is how many Id's have corresponding entries in bins, such as >10, 10-25, 25-50, etc
My table looks like this:
| id | entries |
| 1112 | 9 |
| 1111 | 2 |
| 1113 | 27 |
| 1114 | 22 |
| 1118 | 9 |
And i'm trying to see some representation of this with all the filters:
COUNT id's with entries < 10: 3
COUNT id's with entries > 10: 2
How can I have this sort of visualization?
To get this working, I did the following:
1. Created a new table (enter data) with two columns to specify the greater than and less than numbers that define the bounds of each bin.
2. I then created a calculated column (modeling > new column) with the following DAX:
Bin = format(Table2[Bin GT], "general number") & "-" & format(Table2[Bin LT], "general number")
3. I then created two new measures for the selected Bin GT and selected Bin LT so I could reference those in a filter on the table with your data:
Selected Bin GT = SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Bin GT])
Selected Bin LT = SELECTEDVALUE(Table2[Bin LT])
4. Then I created another measure in the table with your data:
Count of Entries in Bin = CALCULATE(count(Table1[id]), filter(Table1, Table1[entries] > [Selected Bin GT] && Table1[entries] < [Selected Bin LT]))
5. Finally, I added the Bin calculated column as an axis on a bar chart, and the Count of Entries in Bin measure as the value. That got me to this:
