Is there a simple way of adding these columns?

[peterhui50]

Hi I have these 4 columns here in Power BI.

What I am trying to do is to tally up the "Yes" by EMP, if using EXCEL, its basically Totals = COUNTIF(ColumnA:ColumnD,"Yes")

For some reason I can't seem to do the same thing in Power BI without having to use relationships. (Unpivot Column, do a count of "Yes" on another table, use ALLEXCEPT, then join to the original)... but seems like a complicated solution.

I can't really use SWITCH either because what ever it will start evaluating column A, then sees a "Yes" and that column will be assigned 1, but it will not evaluate the other columns [B-D]

Is there a much simplier way?

Hi, @peterhui50 ;

You could create a measure as follow:

Measure = COUNTROWS( FILTER( UNION(VALUES('Table'[A]),VALUES('Table'[B]),VALUES('Table'[C]),VALUES('Table'[D])),[A]<>BLANK()))

The final show:

Hi,

This M code works

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUYpMLQaSUBSrE61kBGEjxEGCxsiCUCmQuAmaIIKMjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [EMP = _t, A = _t, B = _t, C = _t, D = _t]),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"A", "B", "C", "D"}),
    #"Inserted Count" = Table.AddColumn(#"Replaced Value", "Count", each List.NonNullCount({[A], [B], [C], [D]}), Int64.Type)
in
    #"Inserted Count"

Hope this helps.

@peterhui50 you can use this measure:

Measure = 
IF ( HASONEVALUE ( Table[Column Name] ), MAX ( Table[Column] ), 
    CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ), KEEPFITLERS ( Table[Column] = "Yes" ) )
)

and use above measure in the visual
