Return Name of User With Highest Number of Clients

Hi,

 

Looking for some help please, im trying to create a measure to retrieve the name of the user with the highest number of clients, my columns are "Keyworker" (this is the user) and "carerid"  (this is the client).

 

I have tried and failed to get this to work, it would be great if someone could point me in the right direction.

 

thanks

Hi @j3sting

 

You can use a pattern like this (pattern taken from SQLBI - Alternative use of FIRSTNONBLANK and LASTNONBLANK😞

 

TopUser =
FIRSTNONBLANK (
    TOPN (
        1,
        VALUES ( YourTable[Keyworker] ),
        CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( YourTable[carerid] ) )
    ),
    1
)

The FIRSTNONBLANK is just there to break ties.

You can also use the RANKX function to rank the client numbers and get the user name whose rank number is 1.

Assuming we have a table like below.

Return Name of User With Highest Number of Clients_1.jpg

 

We can create two measures with following formulas.

Rank_Client =
RANKX ( ALLSELECTED ( Table1 ), CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[carerid] ) ) )
Highest = 
CALCULATE (
    ALLSELECTED ( Table1[Keyworker] ),
    FILTER (
        ADDCOLUMNS ( VALUES ( Table1[Keyworker] ), "RankNum", [Rank_Client] ),
        [RankNum] = 1
    )
)

Return Name of User With Highest Number of Clients_2.jpg
