Measure to count text values in a column
Hello. I am new to Power BI & DAX. I am using Power BI to create visualizations based on the results of Quality Assurance tests I have performed. My data set consists of a list of vendors and various test elements which receive either a "Yes", "No" or "n/a" rating. I would like to create a measure that counts the # of times Yes and n/a occur in each column.
I will then be dividing that # by the total # of vendors tested (or total rows) in order to obtain a score.
In Excel i used the following formula, =SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(B2:B12,{"Yes","n/a"}))/COUNTA(B2:B12) but cannot figure out a similar formula to use in Power BI. Additionally, in Excel I was able to copy and paste this formula to each column to calculate a score for each test element; is there a way to create a measure in Power BI and apply it to each test element/column or would i need to create a measure for each column?
Thank you for any help you can provide :)
After importing your data perform transformations via the backend.
Unpivot all the Element columns (Select Vendor the use Unpivot all others)
in Advanced Grouping - > group by Vendor and Result
This will give you the final Count you are after
