I would like to ..
Obtain the total count of blank values in Column A
These are true blank values.
Obtain the total count of blank values in Column B
Then add the values. and store the Total in a new field.
So far I have done the following, however not sure if this is best practice.
CountBlankSystem1EmployeeID = COUNTBLANK('Table'[System 1 Employee ID])
Column Formatted as Whole Number
Returns the number 39
CountBlankSystem2EmployeeID = COUNTBLANK('Table'[System 2 Employee ID])
Column Formatted as Whole Number
Returns the number 17
Now I need to work out how to add the values of 39+17 = 56
Note these totals will update with new data uploads from Excel.
TIA
@dd88 , Create a new measure
[CountBlankSystem1EmployeeID] +[CountBlankSystem2EmployeeID]
or create a measure
countows(filter(Table, isblank('Table'[System 1 Employee ID])) || isblank('Table'[System 2 Employee ID])) ) )
and another question is ..
I currently have the following counts for
Total Mismatches = 4
TotalBlank EmployeeID System 1 = 1
TotalBlank EmployeeID System 2 = 1
The last count to workout is total mistmatches. ie (EmployeeID System 1 is not blank) AND (EmployeeID System 2 is not blank) = 2
How can I achieve this?
Create a new calculated column, new measure?
Eg Total Mismatches – (TotalBlank EmployeeID System 1 - TotalBlank EmployeeID System 2)
Note: ideally there is a unique employeeID that is the key. Unfortunately the data is from active legacy separate systems. I am performing a data clean-up across both systems. To do data migration/ preparation into a new system which will have a unique employeeID.
An example data set is
TIA
Many thanks @amitchandak
I used your suggestion Option 1
Create a new calculated column
Total = [CountBlankSystem1EmployeeID] +[CountBlankSystem2EmployeeID]
And it worked! Many thanks again ..
