Measure distinct count

Hi all,

 

I am trying to formulate a measure that counts the id's that are in the status 'build_offer'.

However I only want to count the id's where the status build_offer is not finished yet but the other tasks are.

So in the example below I want to have a count of 2.

Could anyone help me with the formula

Hi @wimsangers ,

You can create this measure:

Count = 
VAR tab =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        "_count",
            CALCULATE (
                COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
                FILTER (
                    ALL ( 'Table' ),
                    'Table'[process_id] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[process_id] )
                )
            )
    )
RETURN
    COUNTX ( FILTER ( tab, [_count] < 2 ), [_count] )

Can you explain why the count is 2 please?  I don't see any finished_on values

The count is in this example two because id 4 & 5 have the task 'build_offer' that is not finished yet.

The other tasks have also another task that is not finished yet. That is why I don't want to count these id's.

In this example no tasks are finished, but in my full dataset off course there is.

 

So id's 4 & 5 have the task 'Plan_survey' that is already finished.
