what is your definition of "wrong".  Is is just the word "wrong"?

="[ Total " & calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[VALUES]),table1[values]<>"wrong") & "] 
" & calculate(CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT(Table1[VALUES]), Table1[VALUES] ,", "),table1[values]<>"wrong") & 
"[ Total " & calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[VALUES]),table1[values]="wrong") & "] " 
& calculate(CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT(Table1[VALUES]), Table1[VALUES] ,", "),table1[values]="wrong")

PLease check for spelling errors and bracket matching.  It should be directionallly correct

Hi Matt,

 

Thanks for answer.

Yes. "wrong" values would be the string "wrong".

 

Your formula it shows almost correct. It seems to show the unique "correct" and their count correctly but it seems to show always [Total 1] for "WRONG" values even there are more than one "WRONG" strings in the column "VALUES".

 

Additionally, if possible. If there are no "WRONG" values, may the output show [0 WRONG ]?

 

Thanks again.

    Someone could help to modify Matt's formula to get count of "wrong" strings?

    Thanks in advance

        Hi Matt,

         

        This formula it works fine. I only replace

        COUNT ( Table1[VALUES] )

        to

        COUNTROWS ( Table1 )

         since I was getting an error.

         

        Only 2 things if possible. The first column of Table1 is "ID". Your formula is applied on a Pivot Table and some IDs have several "correct" and "wrong" values, other IDs doesnt have any value (nor correct not wrong ones). In this case is possible the formula shows empty/nothing? Currently is showing  this:

         

        [ Total 1 ]

        [ Total ]

         And I'd like for these cases show nothing and if there are correct values but any wrong value I'd like the formula shows like only the total of correct values and nothing below that since wrong values are 0, like this:

        [ Total XX ]
        ... .. ... 

         I hope make sense.

         

        Many thanks for the help.
