Hi @vanessafvg,

 

The solution provided by @AndrejZitnay is on the Query editor however if you want to do it in DAX you should use the following formula:

 

Count of Yes = IF(Table2[1] = "yes";1;0) + IF(Table2[2] = "yes";1;0) + IF(Table2[3] = "yes";1;0) + IF(Table2[4] = "yes";1;0)

Some principal different syntax.

Hello @vanessafvg

 

I would maybe to some measurment but if you want that in colum than :

 

step 1

add 4 conditional columns and if operator equal yes than 1 otherwise 0

 

step 2

add all 4 conditional columns together.

@AndrejZitnay hi that is actually a good idea but a calculate column seems less complex if i can get the logic right

Hi @vanessafvg and @AndrejZitnay,

 

Although the option from @AndrejZitnay is correct you can make it just with one column:

(if [1] = "Yes" then 1 else 0) +
(if [2] = "Yes" then 1 else 0) +
(if [3] = "Yes" then 1 else 0) +
(if [4] = "Yes" then 1 else 0)
