Hi,
Can you please help me create the following paramter in Power BI?
Left or Remained(Parameter)
Value Display As
1 Left
2 Remained
Compute By (Parameter)
Attribute
Total Population
And then converting the following calculated fields in Tableau to DAX:
Compute Filter
CASE [Compute By]
WHEN '1' THEN [% Across]
WHEN '2' THEN [% Down]
END
N
IF [Compute By] = '1' THEN COUNTD([Student Id]) ELSE NULL END
N ALANA
{ FIXED [ALANA] :COUNTD(IF [Resident - Show/Hide] THEN [Student Id] END)} + { FIXED [ALANA] :COUNTD(IF [Resident - Show/Hide] = FALSE THEN [Student Id] END)}
Thanks!
@Anonymous , You can do the first one you can use switch like
Switch(selectedvalues([Compute By]) ,
"1" , [% Across] ,
"2" , [% Down]
)
if (Max([Compute By]) = "1" , COUNTD([Student Id]) , blank())
or
if (selectedvalu([Compute By]) = "1" , COUNTD([Student Id]) , blank())
for fixed refer my video

you need use allexcept using the fact/central table
Hi Amit,
I am getting the following error message:
"The DISTINCTCOUNT function only accepts a column reference as an argument."
Thanks!
Hi @Anonymous ,
The DISTINCTCOUNT function counts the number of distinct values in a column. There should be a column name in the function. You should create a formula like
N ALANA = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT( <column>, FILTER(<table>,<filter>))
Best Regards,
