count specific text in a row

[asodhani]

Dear Team,

I have a table

Column 1	Column 2	Column 3	Column 4	Column 5	Column 6	Count of NotCompleted
Completed	NotCompleted	Completed	NotCompleted	NotCompleted	Completed	3
Completed	Completed	NotCompleted	Completed	Completed	Completed	1

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

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

Hi @asodhani

Are you creating it as a calculated column in a Power BI table?

@Phil_Seamark

Yes that is correct.

Unable to find the best option

Hi @asodhani

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)
