calculation based on the number of times a value appears in multiple columns

[CCAd]

Hi,

I need expert help please. I have two columns with agent names. I want to be able to assign 1 point if there is only agent 1 and no agent 2 in each row and assign 0.5 to each agent in column 1 and 2 if there are agent names in both columns. I also want to be able to filter each agent to show their stats. Sample table is below:

Agent 1	Agent 2	Date
Brad cooper		2-Jun-23
Brad cooper		2-Jun-23
Tim Cruz		5-Jun-23
Mansoor Ahmed	David Watson	14-Jun-23
Brad cooper		1-Jun-23
Brad cooper		15-Jun-23
Brad cooper		29-Jun-23
Brad cooper		30-Jun-23
Dipti Malhotra		2-Jun-23
Djokovich		5-Jun-23
Mansoor Ahmed		6-Jun-23
Djokovich		13-Jun-23
Djokovich		20-Jun-23
Djokovich		21-Jun-23
George Matthews		27-Jun-23
Tim Cruz	Dipti Malhotra	26-Jun-23
Tim Cruz	John Smith	6-Jun-23
Tim Cruz	Brendan Sarroff	6-Jun-23
Jacob Siever	Tim Cruz	6-Jun-23
John Smith	Tim Cruz	9-Jun-23
John Smith	Dipti Malhotra	14-Jun-23
John Smith	Djokovich	15-Jun-23
John Smith	Matt C.	29-Jun-23
Jacob Siever		5-Jun-23
Brendan Sarroff		6-Jun-23
George Matthews		26-Jun-23
George Matthews		26-Jun-23
Brad cooper		28-Jun-23
Tim Cruz		30-Jun-23
Tim Cruz		30-Jun-23
David Watson		30-Jun-23
John Smith		6-Jun-23
Tim Cruz		20-Jun-23
Jacob Siever		30-Jun-23
Djokovich		13-Jun-23
Djokovich		13-Jun-23

Additionally, can you please also advise how I can create one slicer that is able to show me the selected agent from both agent 1 and agent 2 columns?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Please find attached my PBI file.

Hope this helps.

Hi @BIswajit_Das Thank you for your response. I was able to setup a conditional column in PQ for the points. However, I still cant figure out a way to have unique agent names in a slicer that would show me the selected agents' stats whether they appear in the agent 1 or agent 2 columns. If there are two agents assigned to the record, each one of them should get 0.5 points, otherwise 1 point assigned to agent 1 in that case. 

For e.g., Djokovich, who appears in both columns, has a total count of 7 but the actual score, as per the data should be 6.5. I want to be able to calculate individual agents' score based on this approach and be able to plot in a bar graph too, individually and collectively.

I just hope I am making some sense.

Hello @CCAd  You can create a calculated column to acheive what you need
I.e

Column =

VAR _a = [Agent 1]

VAR _b = [Agent 2]

RETURN

IF(_a <> BLANK() && _b = BLANK(),1,IF(_a <> BLANK() && _b <> BLANK(),0.5,0))

and
About the slicer you can choose the "New Column" to get the identification.

Hey Mate,

just discovered that your solution gives correct combined results for Agent 1 but when I look at the results for each agent individually, the numbers dont add up. For instance, David Watson should have a total of 1.5 points but I am only seeing 1. IS there anyway I can show the totals based on unique ID (there is a column for that) and also be able to show each agent's individual totals based on agent 1 and agent 2 columns?

Thanks again

Hi @BIswajit_Das ,

Can i do this with a measure? My table name is Appraisal.

@Ashish_Mathur thanks for your contribution too mate. However, I would really appreciate it if you can advise of a measure instead of calculated columns because the structure of the file might change but I would still be able to apply the measure (and also use it in other files).

Thanks

You are welcome.  Are you OK with the Unpivoting step?
