calculate total - should be easy!

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have data from a clinical trial that looks like this:

The visualistion looks like this:

As you can see it has autocalculated the total (107 events in the first example) - how do i create a measure to show this, so i can add to another visualisation for summary purposes, and also so i can sort the x axis by totals?

Thanks so much!

Hi @Anonymous 
You need to create a measure that sums the counts
COUNTA ( TableName[Column1] ) + COUNTA ( TableName[Column2] ) + COUNTA ( TableName[Column3] ) ... etc..

Hi,

Your data is not well structued.  In the Query Editor, select the first 2 columns, right click and select "Unpivot Other columns".  Now create your visual and write this measure

Participants = distinctcount(Data[Participant])

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Use below dax measure :

_CntAll = count(Sheet51[Headache])+count(Sheet51[Syncope])+count(Sheet51[Falls])+count(Sheet51[Oedema])+count(Sheet51[Kalaemia])+count(Sheet51[Hyponatraemia])

Then use it in other visuals.

For the particular Column Chart, Put the created measure(I paste it before), in Tooltips, then sort the chart based on this measure :
