Hello,
I’m new at Power BI and would appreciate your help with a measure.
I have a data table with a date and the name of the employee who worked that day (only 1 employee works per day).
I would like to create a measure that counts the number of days within any given time period that each employee worked.
For example, say I have the following data table:
Date | Employee |
1/01/2022 | Alain L. |
2/01/2022 | Wouter B. |
3/01/2022 | Alain L. |
4/01/2022 | Alain L. |
5/01/2022 | Virgil P. |
6/01/2022 | Wouter B. |
I would like to create a visual using a measure showing the number of days each employee worked, like this:
Visual - Days worked | |||
Employee | Jan | Feb | Mar |
Alain L. | 12 | 10 | 14 |
Wouter B. | 8 | 9 | 6 |
Virgil P. | 10 | 11 | 9 |
I know I have to drop employee into columns on the visual, Year/Month into column and that measure into value.
Which measure I have to create? Thanks in advance.

Hi @NicoHa ,
you don't need a measure for count simply use employee field in values and aggregate it to count thats it.
if you really want to create measure use below one
employee count = count(table[employee])
