How to count the number of users who belong to only one Category

▷ What you want to achieve
When Table 1 [Category] = Table 2 [Category], I want to count the number of users who belong to only one Category per Category.

For example, there are four users who belong to Category A (A1, A2, A3, A5). Of these, only Category A belongs to two people, A3 and A5, so I would like to display "2".

I was able to count the number of users who belong to each Category, but I have not been able to calculate the number of users who belong to only one Category.

If anyone knows how to do that, please let me know.

Thank you.

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

Unique User ID Count =
VAR currentcategoryuser =
VALUES ( Table2[User ID] )
VAR othercategoryuser =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( Table2[User ID] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Table2 ), Table2[Category] <> MAX ( Table1[Category] ) )
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( EXCEPT ( currentcategoryuser, othercategoryuser ) )

Is there a way to display the total of "Unique User ID Count" on the card visual?

Now it is "1", but I want to make it "3".

Hi, @Lopez0090 

Thank you for your feedback.

I am not sure how you modified the measures.

Please try the below and let me know whether it works.

 

Total fix =
SUMX ( VALUES ( [yourcategorycolumn] ), [Unique User ID Count] )

 

Or, please share your sample pbix file's link here, then I can try to look into it and come up with a more accurate measure.

 

Thanks.

It's done. Thank you very much.
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask one more question, and I'll prepare a sample report.

Hi, @Lopez0090 

Thank you for your feedback, and I will wait for your next message.

Hi, @Jihwan_Kim 

A sample report is attached.
I couldn't attach the file as it is, so I made the file into a URL.
You will be redirected to another page, so please download it.

 

In the period May 2021 - Aug 2021, there are three users in Sub Category 3 and one in Sub Category 4, who belong to only one Sub Category.

スクリーンショット 2021-05-14 170434.png

 

Suppose May 2021 has passed.
In the next period from June 2021 to Aug 2021, there will be five users in subcategory 3 and one user in subcategory 5 (for a total of six users) who belong to only one subcategory.

スクリーンショット 2021-05-14 170453.png

 

We would like to create a graph showing these numbers of people by month.

スクリーンショット 2021-05-14 170115.png

 

Can this be done?

please help me.

@Jihwan_Kim  

I'm sorry I didn't explain the logic better.

We would like to see how the number of unique users changes when we change the range we select each month.

スクリーンショット 2021-05-14 184408.png

 

How about this?

Hi, @Lopez0090 

Is the number in this picture different than the previous one?

I cannot know which one you want to show. Is the number in the upper picture below? Or is the number in the lower picture below?

 

I only can understand the number below.

- May: 4

- June: 6

- July: I think it is 3 (Am I correct or not? I assume I am correct)

- August: I think it is 2 (Am I correct or not? I assume I am correct)

 

Picture1.png

I only can show a line in the pbix file. please check.

Hi, @Jihwan_Kim 

Sorry. The graph was wrong. Here is the correct one.
- May: 4
- June: 6
- July: 3
- August: 2

 

The value of "More Unique Users" in the image (img:1) = The value of the line chart in the image (img:2).

When all [Scheduled date] are selected, "4" will be displayed. This is correct.

Deselect the slicer only for [May 2021].

Right now, "3" is displayed, but I want to display the value "6" as in img:1 and img:2.

06-08.png

 

I want to use these in Table 1 and Table 2 to create a graph like the one in image (img:2).

It's perfect!! Thank you so much for your help.

@Jihwan_Kim 

 

Please tell me one last thing.

Currently, the slicer shows the number of people when the range of [Schedule date] is changed.
furthermore, is it possible to count the number of people who fall under the start month in the range as shown in the figure below?
