I'm struggling with writing my DAX formula to calcualte Amount Employees per manager
so heres how the table looks like
| employeeID | Position | MangerID |
| 100102 | Employee | 111008 |
| 100103 | Employee | 111008 |
| 100100 | Employee | 111008 |
| 111008 | Manager1 | 121101 |
| 121101 | Manager2 | 130241 |
As you can see the ManagerID are the refrence of the respective manager EmployeeID, so even the Manager1 and Manager2 could have another higher Manger of the top. But for now I just wanna see the amount of employees that a certain manager have.
Anyone who can help`?
Hi 🙂
For me this seems like you can simply use a distinct count.
For example:
0) Load the data you provided, call the table "Relations" or anything else.
1) Create this measure:
unique employees =
DISTINCTCOUNT(Relations[employeeID])2) Add the column "Manager" and the above created measure to a table visual or similar
Result:
This should give you the distinct count of employees directly connected to each manager.
@selected_ - hope this solves your problem. If so, consider accepting the answer as solution so it will be easier for others to find.
Additional note: It seems that your data may have parent-child hierarchy. E.g.
130241 Manages 121101,
121101 Manages 111008
, so 1303241 mangages 121101 "directly" and 11008 "indirectly" through child 121101.
If you want to account for the child-parent relations, you may want to read documenation of parten-child-functions:
