count numeric column cells and exclude certain value

I would like to count the number of cells in a numeric column but exclude if the value is 0.  Seems like this should be fairly easy, but since I am new to PowerBI, I would appreciate any assistance! ...

    Hey dlgardo,

     

    Sean's answer works for me. This also seems to work:

     

    Count Column = COUNTX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'['Column'] <> 0),[Column])

    Sean can you confirm?

     

    Thanks,

    Yep that's another way of doing the same thing...

     

    the only thing I'll change is add the table name as per Rob Collie's post here

     

    EDIT: Sorry the post was actually by MattAllington on Rob's site

     

    • Column reference:  Table[Column Name]
    • Measure Reference:  [measure name]

    But that's just a suggestion it should work regardless :smileyhappy:

     

    Count Column = COUNTX ( FILTER ('Table', 'Table'[Column] <> 0) , 'Table'[Column] )

Hey dlgardo,

 

Create a new column like the one below:

 

Count Column = SUMX([Dataset], IF([Column1]<>0, 1, 0))

 

This will count all the fields that are not equal to 0.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Alan

Thank you very much for the reply!  Seems like that is counting every cell in the table.  I just need a count of rows based on a column if the value is not 0.  I have a total of about 86000 rows, and the number of rows that do not have a 0 value in Column F should come down to approx. 24K.
