couting row using filter

Hello,

 

I am counting the number of row in a table1 which correspond to a criteria in table2.

For example, 

 

Number of opportunities = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table2'[OpportunitySkey])
No. of Opportunities approved = calculate(counta('Table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table2'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]="Y"))
 
when I want to calculate the number of opportunities not approved, I am using the following equation but it does not work.
 
No. of Opportunities not approved = calculate(counta('Table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table2'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]<>"Y"))
 
The possible value for the approvedbyriskcommitte could be Y, N or blank
 
Does someone know what wrong with my dax equation
Regards,

Hi @Anonymous try:

 

calculate(counta('Table'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]<>"Y" || 'table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee] = blank()))

I am sorry.  I have a mistake in my equation that I have provided.

 

Here's the good ones.

No. of Opportunities approved=
calculate(counta('Table'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]="Y"))
 

No. of Opportunities not approved=

calculate(counta('Table'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]<>"Y"))
 
The No. of opportunities approved is good.
The No. of opportunities not approved is not good maybe because the possible values for the
field ApprovedByRiskCommittee are Y, blank.
 
 

Hi @Anonymous try:

 

calculate(counta('Table'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]),filter('table1','table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee]<>"Y" || 'table1'[ApprovedByRiskCommittee] = blank()))

 

regards.

@Anonymous do you have two tables? Why in the filter you have Table1
