Sum error

DaysAbove = what-if parameter

 

I have a tabular table with Date and CountID and a DaysWhereFlag. (If the count of that ID goes over the 'DaysAbove')

 

DaysWhereFlag =
IF(COUNT(BedModelData[PatientMeditechID]) > 'tbl_DaysAbove'[DaysAboveValue], 1, 0)
 
The DaysWhereFlag has 1s or 0s in. The total is always 1 but would like to SUM the 1's.
 
I have tried so many different ways, looked at many websites but just cannot get it to work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can just sum the flag measure, try:

 

measure = Sumx(All(table), DaysWhereFlags)  

or 

measure = Sumx(table,DaysWhereFlags)

Hi @davidsimm10 


now use the formula; 
Calculate(Sum(DaysWhereFlags),Filter(TableName, (BedModelData[PatientMeditechID]) > ('tbl_DaysAbove'[DaysAboveValue]))

Thats the same answer you said last time so no, it still doesnt work im afraid

Hi 

Have you tried:

Calculate(Sum(DaysWhereFlags),Filter(TableName, (BedModelData[PatientMeditechID]) > ('tbl_DaysAbove'[DaysAboveValue]))

Thank you for the replies. The 'DaysWhereFlag' is a measure so it wont allow it to be put into the dax aboveScreenshot 2020-12-16 180018.png.

Hi,

What i found here is you giving flag value in measure instead of generating the measure, Generate the same value in the Calculated column and then try same formula.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks.

Thank you. When I turn it into a column, it just needs to say 1/0 or true/false for the DaysWhereFlagCol. If I click 'Dont summarise', it returns all '1's'. I need to find which days are above the 'Days where what if' parameter and then sum the number of days that this happens.
