Return the count of a count

Hi all!

 

I'm trying to count the count of a value.

see screenshot below:

In the first Table you'll see per User the amount orders they placed per month.

 

In the Table below I'd like to count the number of users that have ordered 1 time, >3, >5, >10. As also the % of users that have placed 1 order or >3....

 

Whats the best way to do this?

I already created a table with the outcomes I'd like to see, should I add values to this?,... I'm stuck

Hi @RobbeVL,

 

[Total Sales] is just a summarize column we defined in the SUMMARIZE function(you can change it to any name you want). For more details about SUMMARIZE function, you can refer to this article. Smiley Happy

Measure = 
IF (
    MAX ( tbl_OrderAmount[Value] ) = 1,
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE (
                General_Deliveries,
                General_Deliveries[Name + Last Name],
                "Total Orders", COUNTROWS ( General_Deliveries )
            ),
            [Total Orders] = 1
        )
    ),
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE (
                General_Deliveries,
                General_Deliveries[Name + Last Name],
                "Total Orders", COUNTROWS ( General_Deliveries )
            ),
            [Total Orders] >= MIN ( tbl_OrderAmount[Value] )
        )
    )
)

Hi @RobbeVL,

 

Based on my test, you should be able to use the formula below to create a new measure, then show it with tbl_OrderAmount[Title] column on the report to get the expected result in your scenario. 

Measure = 
IF (
    MAX ( tbl_OrderAmount[Value] ) = 1,
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE (
                General_Deliveries,
                General_Deliveries[Name + Last Name],
                "Total Orders", COUNTROWS ( General_Deliveries )
            ),
            [Total Orders] = 1
        )
    ),
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            SUMMARIZE (
                General_Deliveries,
                General_Deliveries[Name + Last Name],
                "Total Orders", COUNTROWS ( General_Deliveries )
            ),
            [Total Orders] >= MIN ( tbl_OrderAmount[Value] )
        )
    )
)

You are probably going to need to create a meause in which you use a SUMMARIZE to group your items and the measure will analyze the rows in that SUMMARIZE'd table and provide you with the counts. For an example of this, see this article:

Different scenario and calculations but you should be able to use the same concept.
