Hello,
Can anyone help with a PBi DAX that will mark the following lines as follows?
I need to flag or mark(in column D) each combination of "Number" and "Occurence" that has double entries: one with "N" Flag and one with "Y" Flag.
If the combination of "Number" and "Occurence" has only 1 entry with "N" Flag, do nothing/flag nothing (PS: It will never happen to have only "Y" flag).
In the end, I need to be able to filter out the data that has this mark.
Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous , try this calculate column:
Target = var rep=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Number]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Number]))
var flag_p=CALCULATE(max('Table'[Flag]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Number]))
return
if(flag_p="Y" && rep>1,"Mark this","")
The result:
Best regards
@Bifinity_75 , can you also share a logic that would help me mark all the entries that contain duplicate combination of "Number" and "Occurence" solely? (not considering "Flag")
Hi @Anonymous , can you try this:
- Create this calculate column:
Numb_Ocurr = 'Table'[Number] & 'Table'[Ocurrence]
- Create this another calculate column:
Result = var previous= CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Numb_Ocurr]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Numb_Ocurr]))
return
if (previous=1,"","Mark this")
The result:
Best Regards!
Hi @Anonymous , create this calculate column:
Target = var rep=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Numb_Ocurr]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Numb_Ocurr]))
return
if(CONTAINSSTRING('Table'[Flag],"Yes") && rep>1,"Mark this","")
The result:
Best Regards
Hi @Anonymous, pretty much reducing the logic you've shown me, try with this calculate column:
Target =
var dupl_comb=CALCULATE(count('Table'[Number]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Number],'Table'[Ocurrence]))
return
if('Table'[Flag 1]="N" && 'Table'[Flag 2]="A" || dupl_comb=1 && 'Table'[Flag 1]="N","","Mark this")
The result:
Best Regards!

Hi @Anonymous , try this calculate column:

ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Numb_Ocurr]))>1,"Mark this","")

@Bifinity_75 , can you please help me review this again? Seems that I have not captured all the possible scenarios.
a) for each duplicate combination of "Number" and "Occurrence" that has different Flag1= "Y" and "N" -> "Mark This"
b) for each duplicate combination of "Number" and "Occurrence" that has only Flag1="N":
check if Flag2 = BLANK and if yes -> "Mark This", otherwise
if Flag2 = "A" -> do nothing
c) for each duplicate combination of "Number" and "Occurrence" that has only Flag1="Y" -> "Mark This"
d) for each unique combinations(no duplicate) of "Number" and "Occurrence":
if Flag1 = "Y" -> "Mark This", otherwise
if Flag1 = "N" -> do nothing
I have highlighted the scenarios and the desired outcome below :
Thank you!

@Bifinity_75 , what about this scenario:
Based on the below picture, can you mark every:
- duplicate combination of "Number" and "Occurence" that has a "Flag" that contains the word "Text Yes"
and
- don't mark any unique combination of "Number" and "Occurence" that has a "Flag" that contains the word "Text Yes" or no "Flag" at all

Target = var rep=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Numb_Ocurr]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Numb_Ocurr]))
return
