Loop Through Columns To Create a Set

[Anonymous]

Hello there!

I have five columns with the following data:

Baltimore	Cincinnati	Cleveland	Pittsburgh	AFCNorth
74	83	62	71	2

My requirement is:  if each column  has a number > 0, then make a set that equals '1'.  So, my output would look like this:

Baltimore	Cincinnati	Cleveland	Pittsburgh	AFCNorth	# of Sets
74	83	62	71	2	2

How do I do this in Power BI using either a measure or column?

Thanks in advance

Hi @kreneec ,

Thank you for your patient explanation. Please check following steps as blew and see if the result meet your expectations:

1. Create calculated column:

    set = IF('Table'[Pittsburgh]*'Table'[Cincinnati]*'Table'[Cleveland]*'Table'[Baltimore]*'Table'[AFCNorth]>0,1,0)

2. Create Measure:

    # of sets = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[set]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[ID]<=MAX('Table'[ID])))

3. Result would be shown as below:

hi @Anonymous ,

If I understand you correctly, # of sets is the sum of set, so I’m confused about why # of sets is 2 in your table.

Please check following steps if it could solve your problem:

1. Unpivot table by columns except ID.

2. Create measure:

    # of sets = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Value]>0))

3. Create matrix visual and result would be shown as below:

Otherwise, please help me understand why # of sets is 2.

BTW, Pbix as attached, hopefully works for you.

Best Regards,

Hi Jay.

Thank you for responding.  The number of sets is defined as "each column has to have greater than or equal to a 1 to define a set."  So, as example:

Baltimore = 74; true;

Cincinnati = 83; true;

Cleveland = 62; true;

Pittsburgh = 71; true;

AFCNorth = 2; true

Since every column has more than 1, a set has been completed, i.e. add '1' to the # of sets column.  Now, I need to reiterate again to check to see if another set has been completed.  It has, which means add another '1' to the # of sets column, which means there are only 2 completed sets.  Hope that makes sense.

Oh, I should mention this would be based on a unique id.  So, I've updated the columns:

What it looks like now:

ID	Baltimore	Cincinnati	Cleveland	Pittsburgh	AFCNorth
1	74	83	62	71	2

What I would like for it to look like:

ID	Baltimore	Cincinnati	Cleveland	Pittsburgh	AFCNorth	# of Sets
1	74	83	62	71	2	2
