Measure or Calculated Column adding +1 per condition met

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Per row, I want to check how many conditions the associated data meets.

E.g. if I have the following table People:

Name	Cash	Eye Color	Shoe Color	Hair Color
John	20	Brown	Brown	Blond
Jane	80	Green	Yellow	Brown
Doe	0	Brown	Yellow	Brown

I want to do several checks like:

if(cash >50 && eye color == Green), counter +1

if(cash <10 && eye color == Brown), counter +1

if(Shoe Color == Yellow && eye color == Green), counter +1

if(Shoe Color == Brown && eye color == Brown), counter +1

Resulting in:

Name	Cash	Eye Color	Shoe Color	Hair Color	Counter
John	20	Brown	Brown	Blond	1
Jane	80	Green	Yellow	Brown	3
Doe	0	Brown	Yellow	Brown	1

I know this is possible by creating calculated columns for each check and then adding the results of those calculated columns, but I'd like to contain the complexity within 1 measure/calculated column, rather than spread over the table.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks all! I feel daft now for not think of just adding the if statements together.

Is this what you're looking for?

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create a measure with this general formula pattern:

Counter = 
var __Check1 = COUNTROWS( 
        FILTER (Table, Table[Cash] > 50 && Table[Eye Color] = "Green") )
var __Check2 = COUNTROWS( FILTER (Table, **Check2 Conditions**) )
...
var __CheckN = COUNTROWS( FILTER (Table, **CheckN Conditions**) )

RETURN
__var1 + __var2 + ... + __varN + 0  //The +0 at the end keeps the result from being BLANK

Hope this helps

David

@Anonymous , not very clear

create a new column =if( [cash] > 50 && [eye color] = "Green",1,0) + if( [cash] <10 && [eye color] = "Brown",1,0) + if( [Shoe Color] "Yellow" && [eye color] = "Green",1,0)
+ if( [Shoe Color] "Brown" && [eye color] = "Brown",1,0)
