Hello Everyone,
I am trying to create a column with DAX expression that inputs Yes when a student fails an exam for a certain period. For example, I have the following table
| Name | Exam | Exam Score |
| Steve | Exam 1 | Fail |
| Steve | Exam 2 | Pass |
| Steve | Exam 3 | Pass |
| Bob | Exam 1 | Pass |
| Bob | Exam 2 | Fail |
| Bob | Exam 3 | Fail |
| Jeff | Exam 1 | Fail |
| Jeff | Exam 2 | Fail |
| Jeff | Exam 3 | Fail |
I wanted to create an additional column called Exam 1 Fail? and it will put Yes for each row if they failed Exam 1. The result table would be:
| Name | Exam | Exam Score | Exam 1 Fail? |
| Steve | Exam 1 | Fail | Yes |
| Steve | Exam 2 | Pass | Yes |
| Steve | Exam 3 | Pass | Yes |
| Bob | Exam 1 | Pass | No |
| Bob | Exam 2 | Fail | No |
| Bob | Exam 3 | Fail | No |
| Jeff | Exam 1 | Fail | Yes |
| Jeff | Exam 2 | Fail | Yes |
| Jeff | Exam 3 | Fail | Yes |
How would I go about doing this? I have tried IF statements but I'm having a tough time finding the correct logic that would but Yes for each row. Any help is much appreciated and let me know if I can clarify.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @botaac
You could use something like this.
Fail exam 1 =
VAR Student = Exams[Name]
VAR Resultexam1 = COUNTROWS(
FILTER( Exams, Exams[Name] = Student && Exams[Exam] = "Exam 1" && Exams[Exam Score] = "Fail"))
RETURN
If(Resultexam1 = 1,"Yes","No")Best regards,

Hi,
This calculated column formula works
=if(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Data),FILTER(Data,Data[Name]=EARLIER(Data[Name])&&Data[Exam]="Exam 1"&&Data[Exam Score]="Fail"))>=1,"Yes","No")
Hope this helps.
