USERELATIONSHIP Function

I have two tables, one lists "UserID" and other lists "TechMgrID," "CustServiceRepID," and "PMMgrID"

 

I have a third table that lists "CreatedByUserID," which I also created a relationship to "UserID"

 

I need to calculate how many "Notes" were created by the CustServiceRep, the TechMgr, and the PMMgr.

 I tried

 

COL Notes = CALCULATE(COUNTA('dpmgr tblContactNotes'[Note]), 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsSystem] = 0, 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsAuto]= 0, USERELATIONSHIP('dpmgr tblContacts'[CustServiceRepID], 'dpmgr vwJMWebUsersSystemALL'[UserID]))

 

and changed the formula accordingly, but I don't think I'm getting the result I need.  I need the count of how many notes were entered by each role

Cool,

 

According to your formula it will give u the Count of Notes from CustServiceRepID and UserID relationship.

 

1. when u use userelationship , other relationshiop on the table is disconnected automatically.

 

2. If u want the count of ALL note from the Existing three connection. u have to calculated at three level like 

 

Measure =

Var CustServiceRepID = CALCULATE(COUNTA('dpmgr tblContactNotes'[Note]), 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsSystem] = 0, 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsAuto]= 0, USERELATIONSHIP('dpmgr tblContacts'[CustServiceRepID], 'dpmgr vwJMWebUsersSystemALL'[UserID]))

 

Var PMMgrID = CALCULATE(COUNTA('dpmgr tblContactNotes'[Note]), 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsSystem] = 0, 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsAuto]= 0, USERELATIONSHIP('dpmgr tblContacts'[PMMgrID ], 'dpmgr vwJMWebUsersSystemALL'[UserID]))

 

var CreatedByUserID = CALCULATE(COUNTA('dpmgr tblContactNotes'[Note]), 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsSystem] = 0, 'dpmgr tblContactNotes'[IsAuto]= 0)

 

Result = CustServiceRepID  + PMMgrID + CreatedByUserID 

 

Let me know if any help

These are the formulas I used, but they seem to be giving the same data and not correct data. They're all identical
