count specific text in a row

Dear Team,

 

I have a table

 

Column 1Column 2Column 3Column 4Column 5Column 6Count of NotCompleted
CompletedNotCompletedCompletedNotCompletedNotCompletedCompleted3
CompletedCompletedNotCompletedCompletedCompletedCompleted1

 

How to write a dax function to calculate the count of NotCompleted?

 

Thank You

  • HI asodhani

     

    If you don't mind a bit of hardcoding this calculated column will work

     

    Column = 
    VAR S = "NotCompleted"
    RETURN 
        IF('Table3'[Column 1]=S,1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 2]=S,1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 3]=S,1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 4]=S,1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 5]=S,1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 6]=S,1) 

    Otherwise, unpivot the data to rows and you can sum over a single column

    Please give this a try.

     

    Column = 
    
        IF('Table3'[Column 1]="NotCompleted",1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 2]="NotCompleted",1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 3]="NotCompleted",1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 4]="NotCompleted",1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 5]="NotCompleted",1) +
        IF('Table3'[Column 6]="NotCompleted",1)

      How to unpivot data to rows? I have this table directly coming from a ERP Database

      I can only do VAR.S but then it asks me for a column name. also I am unsure how to add the Return Formula after that.

       

      Will be great if you can assist
