    Hi shere100 

    You may create a measure with COUNTX Function.For example:

    Measure 2 =
COUNTX (
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Test Result] = "Pass" ),
    'Table'[Test Result]
)
    / COUNTX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Test Result] = "Not Started" ),
        'Table'[Test Result]
    )

Hi, thanks for the response. I get the following message.

 

Error Message:
MdxScript(Model) (28, 5) Calculation error in measure 'Test Result 2'[Measure 6]: The function SUMX cannot work with values of type String.

 

To clarify I need to calculate the sum for a status that has string values.  The above message appears when I attempt to run the measure.

You may try to use ALLSELECTED Function.For example:

Measure =
SUMX (
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "Pass" ),
    Table2[Value]
)
    / SUMX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ), Table2[Status] = "Not Started" ),
        Table2[Value]
    )

Regards,

The formula works for numbers in a column but I need to calculate the sum value of string values in a column. 

 

Please advise.
