Hello,
I am working on a report with many sources and am having trouble totaling the number of tickets a person is assigned and assists with.
One of the main relationship in the report is from my table 'Resource' and column 'UserName' which holds a persons First and Last Name (Jenny Smith)
The source with the data is the table 'SupportTickets' and using the columns [Assigned to] and [Tags]
If a name is in the [Tags] then that means they assisted the person who was assigned the ticket.
The columns with [Tags] contains the first name and last initial of any user within the 'Resource'[UserName].
Difference in name display example:
'Resource'[UserName] = Jenny Smith
'SupportTickets'[Tags] = Jenny S.
What i would expect counting the sum of 'Tags' to look like if it were in a table (numbers are just for the example)
| 'SupportTickets'[Tags] → 'Resource'[UserName] ↓ | Jenny S | Robert P. | Alex K. |
| Robert Patrick | 2 | 0 | 4 |
| Jenny Smith | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Alex King | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 3 | 1 | 6 |
The next step would be to combine the two columns
| 'Resource'[UserName] | Count of 'SupportTickets'[Assigned To] | Sum of Assists ( 'Support Tickets'[Tags]) | Total Tickets |
| Robert Patrick | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Jenny Smith | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| Alex King | 2 | 6 | 8 |
The final result should look like this
| 'Resource'[UserName] | Total Tickets |
| Robert Patrick | 3 |
| Jenny Smith | 5 |
| Alex King | 8 |
I am still fairly new to Powerbi, to that i mean i only have basic experience creating and useing DAX measures. If possible i would like to stick to that method.
Thank you in advance.
Trust me not even the most intelligent AI bot can guess that Robert P.2 is Robert Peter.
Hi,
If there are 2 people = Robert Patrick and Robert Peter, then how would one be abl to differentiate them in the Tags column - both would be Robert P.
Great question. The tags would indentify the second "Robert P." as "Robert P.2" and so forth for any additionals
