Helper IVNew measure or column ?
Hello everyone,
Here is a little extract of my data:
Tests | Validity 1 | Validity 2 | Facility owner approval | Final validity Results |
Test 1 | Valid | Valid | Yes | Valid |
Test 2 | Non Valid | - | No | Non Valid |
Test 3 | - | Non Valid | Yes | Non Valid |
Test 4 | Valid | Not Executed |
|
|
Test 5 | Valid | - | No | Non Valid |
Test 6 | - | Valid | Yes | Non Valid |
Test 7 | Non valid | Non Valid | No/Yes | Non Valid |
Test 8 | Non valid | Non valid | No/Yes | Non Valid |
Validity 1 and2 are my two conditions so far and it can be either Valid, Non Valid or Dash – (which means it was not Executed).
I don’t want to See if the tests are valid or not BUT I want to count how many tests have NOT EXECUTED validation.
I want to count the number of times where each validity have been not executed ( - ) in one of the tests validity (1 or 2).
The result should only count the lines highlighted on the table in Bold as not executed ( - ) and should return in this case a 4 as a count.
I cannot modify the data and replace the dash’s and I have to keep it in this form.
I am not sure if I am clear enough but please feel free to post if you can think of any easy solution (for a beginner on Power Bi)
Thanks a lot
Ok, I have a feeling that the measures are correct, but I suspect you are getting the results you see because, given the 150,000 + rows of tests, and given that you carry out 230 individual tests, if you analyse the whole dataset you are finding that all tests have been carried out at some stage, and none of the tests have never "not been carried out".
150,000 rows / 230 tests = 652 rows / test (on average)!!
That is, If I am understanding what your are trying to achieve (as per your original post).
What I suggest you try is to add a slicer to your page (year for example) and play around to see if the values change.
I have tried it in my sample and the measures return what I am expecting. I have changed one of the measures to the below to allow for the slicer to work (changed the ALL in the filter to ALLSELECTED):
Unique Tests Not Executed EVER = VAR calc = CALCULATETABLE(VALUES(Sales[Product]); FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Sales); [Not Executed (at some stage)]=0)) VAR full = VALUES(Sales[Product])
Return COUNTROWS( EXCEPT(full; calc))Here is an example if I filter my sample data to see only rows for 2018 (which you can compare to the image I posted in the above post):
But there again I may have misundestood what you are actually trying to achieve!

Mous007Thankss for ur reply George but unfortunatly the formula is returning
The expression contains multiple columns, but only a single column can be used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression

Apologies,
In that case please try the following as a column;
Column = if(or(Validity1 = "-", Validity2 = "-",1,0)
You can then sum the column in a card visual :)
Thanks,

How about:
Not Executed = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('data_table'), FILTER('data_table', OR(data_table[Validity 1] = "-", data_table[Validity 2] = "-") ))- Mous007
Hi Paul, thanks for ur reply but i believe the formula is returning the wrong figures ... My data list has more then 30000 Tests and the formula is returning 22000 which im pretty certain is not the correct figure.
