How to use ISINSCOPE in matrix?

[Anonymous]

I have an AD group table:

AD group	Name	Emp
Xyz	Mary	1
Xyz	Paul	2
Service	Paul	2
IT3	Paul	2
IT3	Tim	3
IT3	Juana	4
IT3	Karla	5
IT3	Tatiana	6

and a Employee table:

Emp	Name	Department
1	Mary	R
2	Paul	R
3	Tim	E
4	Juana	E
5	Karla	E
6	Tatiana	T

I am trying to display for each AD group, people from how many deparments they have, as:

AD group	NumberOf Dept
Xyz	1
Service	1
IT3	3

It works fine, I am using 

SUMX (   DISTINCT(Employee[Department]),1  )

But when I use a matrix, and I try to pull the Department as well, I use:

NumberofBU =

IF (

    ISINSCOPE(AllADGroupMembers[GroupName]),

    SUMX(DISTINCT(Employee[Business]),1),

    BLANK()

)

But it doesnt work, I want to see BLANK in the departments, but I still see a value:

How can I force a blank here, instead of seeing "1"?

ISINSCOPE doesnt seem to work for me...

It works at first here:

NumberofBU =

IF (

    ISINSCOPE(AllADGroupMembers[GroupName]),

    SUMX(DISTINCT(Employee[Business]),1),

    BLANK()

)

But, when I drag GroupName, it stops working!

Why is it displaying a 1 for Business? It should be blank!

That looks to be working as expected. If you have the Group Name in the rows then the only time ISINSCOPE would return false would be in the total row.

Hi, @Anonymous 

According to your description, you want to  see BLANK in the departments. Right?

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data which is the same as yours:

We need to create a relationship between two tables:

(2)We can create a calculated column in Multi-terminal tables：

de_name = RELATED('Sheet1'[Department])

(3)We can create a measure :

Count = IF(ISINSCOPE('Sheet1'[Department]),BLANK(), SUMX( DISTINCT('Sheet2'[de_name]),1))

(4)Then we put the measure in the visual and the field we need like this  and we will meet your need:

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Hi,

use:

IF(NOT(ISINSCOPE(Employee[Department]), ...)

because in a matrix, everything thats visible ABOVE your desired blank is also "in scope".

doesnt seem to work either

[lukiz84]

did you put Employee[Department] on the Matrix or another field of Employee?

I just tried it and it works on my side...

NumberofBU =
IF (
    NOT(ISINSCOPE(Employee[Depeartment])),
    SUMX(DISTINCT(Employee[Business]),1),
    BLANK()
)
