Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing good.
I need to write a calculated column which will give us the detail either the employee is working in samedept or differentdept.
below is the dataset
| Employee ID | Department |
| E1 | 101 |
| E1 | 102 |
| E1 | 103 |
| E2 | 101 |
| E2 | 102 |
| E2 | 201 |
| E3 | 201 |
| E3 | 202 |
As Employee E1 is working all the departments starting with 1 so it is marked as SameDept. Same goes for E3 employee as he is working in department starting with 2.
Whereas Employee E2 is working in department satrting with 1 and 2 so they need to be marked as DifferentDept.
Can you please help me on the same!!!!
Hi @Fowmy
Thanks for the solution. The data is around 1 lakh rows and still some of the records are not running properly. Needs a little tweak on the same. for the marked data it is not running properly.

There was no mention about Department Status, I believe you need to check based on the employee id and the department status, please use the following modified code:
Dep Status =
VAR __emp = Table15[Employee ID],
VAR __status = Table15[Dep_Status]
VAR __dep =
LEFT ( Table15[Department ], 1 )
RETURN
IF (
SUMX (
FILTER ( Table15, Table15[Employee ID] = __emp && Table15[Dep_Status] = __status ),
INT ( LEFT ( Table15[Department ], 1 ) <> __dep )
) = 0,
"Same Department",
"Different Department"
)

Hi @Fowmy
Still not working. Infact the slicer department status is nothing but the same department and different department.
Same department= intercompany
Different department= Non-intercompany
Hi. @niteshtrehan89
Can you show your current adjusted code formula?

Add the following column to your table:
Dep Status =
var __emp = Table15[Employee ID] return
var __dep = LEFT(Table15[Department ],1)
return
IF(
SUMX(
FILTER(Table15, Table15[Employee ID] = __emp),
int(LEFT(Table15[Department ],1) <> __dep)
) = 0,
"Same Department",
"Different Department"
)
