Yet Another need to count rows after a filter is applied

[rgouette]

I've searched for an example of exactly what I'm trying to do , and some come close.. It seem SO simple in theory to do..

I have a table visual based on a  SQL query.

I have table filter applied  of only fetching the TOP 50 rows(to help performance)

I also have a couple of visuals available to help fine tune results.

I simply want to display, via a card, the count of rows on the table visual, after any filter is applied

appreciate any help...

Regards,

Rich

, found a "solution", which is to save the report & re-open. NOw have DAX editor.

Also, I cannot explain it...but the row counter works just fine now..

I just drop this into a new measure...:

rowCount = COUNTROWS(dbName)

and it all seems to work peachy if I search using my card is search visual...

who knows... I'm just happy it's working

Thanks,

R

thx for the  help so far. I was putting together an example to show, when all of a sudden, for no reason, when I say "New Measure", I see no DAX pane..

I'll keep working to fix this..

~sigh

Apply the exact same filters to the card visual. then add  an appropriate column to the card visual and change it to "Count".

hmm, no luck

I added the same filter on the card, and made the DAX on the measure t be:"

CountofRows = COUNT(MyCoolQuery[MyCaseID])"

, and the count card visual is just spinning..

There should be 50 rows out of a possible 9308 total rows available

😕

Not sure I completely understand why I'd apply a filter on the count card itself..

Appreciate the reply, nonetheless

COUNT alone simply count the numeric rows in a column. Assuming MyCaseID is a numeric one, then that is the correct function to use otherwise use COUNTA. If you want the count to be filtered, use something like:

CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( MyCoolQuery[MyCaseID] ),
    MyCoolQuery[Column1] = "filter value",
    MyCoolQuery[Column2] = "filter value"
)

Not sure I completely understand why I'd apply a filter on the count card itself.. You can use visual filter. Drag a column to the filter pane and select a filter value. Otherwise, create a measure that returns a fitlered value.

If you want to arrive at the same number you need to use the exact same filter context.
