Power BI Table

 

Hello,

 

I need help with 2 requests. I have a table as below in Power BI.

 

 

 

Ocean Carrier - database field

Type - calculated column based on origin-destination

Container ID - database field

Start and Dest Units - Calculated measure based on count

Status - database field

 

Request 1: For the first 2 rows, the Carrier and Container ID are the same but Type is different. Is there a way to combine the two rows to show the Type as "Multiple" and total the counts?

Request 2: Again, for the first columns, because the Container ID is the same, is it possible to show the Status as "Open", because there is a value in the Start Units column? The logic is, if there is a count in the Start Units for the same container ID then show Status as "Open".

 

Thank you very much your help!

  • For Request 1:  Use the built in grouping function of the table or matrix visuals

    For Request 2: Add an aggregation "Max of Status" as an implicit measure to your visual.  Since "O"  comes after "C"  this will show "Open"  wherever that appears in a group (container)

      Thank you very much lbendlin.

      The solution for Request 2 is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

      For Request 1 though, when I group on Type - while it works for instance of rows 1&2, for the remaining rows also, the group label shows "Export & Domestic" - which is incorrect. Is there a way to conditionally change the label to the actual if multiple values do not exist. i.e show "Multiple" only if there is Domestic and Export for a container Id, else show actual.

       

      Thank you

        I can't understand how that would look like. Can you please indicate the expected outcome based on the above sample data.
