Hi All,
New to BI and am struggling with the syntax for a measure.
Table = Investigations
Field 1 = Locality
Field 2 = Count of Investigations
The visual gives me a count of investigations by Locality (all good)
What I want is the same information but in a measure for each Locality, i.e.
Location A = 30
Location B = 22
Location C = 12
In the grander scheme I want to be able to work out how many investigations each locality has had by "per 100 staff", but one step at a time!
Appreciate any support

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @KevDavies
Create a new measure like
Measure = COUNT('Table'[Investigations])or
Measure = COUNTROWS('Table')The 'Table' here refers to the table you use.
Hi @misaki233
Thanks fot eh suport, getting the information in the visual is not the problem, I need it in a measure so I can make other calculations based on the individual localities.
