Measure or calculated column?

Hello guys,

 

I have the following data source (it will eventually be a SharePoint list).

 

I need to add the following calculations (in red) and preferably end up with a nice matrix tile but i have just started with PowerBI and I am struggling to come up with the right steps. I have watched quite a few tutorials, so I should be able to progress with some help.

 

Thanks a lot for your guidance!

 

Object Type     Object Name                   Skill A                                     Skill B                                                 Skill C     

EmployeeEmployee 1513
EmployeeEmployee 2034
EmployeeEmployee 3453
EmployeeEmployee n250
RequirementRequirement for task115
RequirementRequirement for cover212
 Available skills Counts all values>2 in Column Skill A where Object  = "Employee"Counts all values in Skill B Column >2 where Object  = "EmployeeCounts all values in Skill C Column >2 where Object  = "Employee"
 Single Point of FailureCounts all values in Skill A Column =3 or 4 where Object = "Employee"Counts all values in Skill B Column =3 or 4 where Object  = "EmployeeCounts all values in Skill C Column =3 or 4 where Object  = "Employee"

 

Kind regards,

@Anonymous you should unpivot your table and then you just need two measures to make it work.

 

Available Skills Measure = 
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ), Table[Value] > 2, Table[Object] = "Employee" )

Single Point of Failure  Measure = 
CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Table ), Table[Value] >= 3, Table[Object] = "Employee" )

 

And you can visualize the data with these measure. Hope this helps.
