how do i Count if

Brand new to PowerBI. Lots of excel experience... I'm sure this question gets asked all the time.

Trying to create a new table calculated from a flat table. Flat table is named "SMT_Export".  New table is named "Sites_by_tech"

I have the first column pulling the Regions from flat table as follows:  =DISTINCT(SMT_Export[Region]).  generates a column with 4 values (north, south, east, west)

I need column 2 to be a count value for the following conditions:

SMT_Export[Region] = Sites_by_tech[Region]
SMT_Export[Site Status]= "ON-AIR"
SMT_Export[NR]= TRUE

 

Help please.

fantastic! i had to correct formatting on the true/false column, but appears to be working.  If i want to add additional columns with similar calculations, do i add to the above ADDCOLUMNS:

"Count2",
		CALCULATE(
			COUNTROWS(SMT_Export),
			SMT_Export[LTE] = True,
			SMT_Export[Site Status] = "ON-AIR"
		)

 ETC?

Hi,  @Anonymous 

 

If you have already created a new table and want to add a new column, you can directly add calculated column.

Creat your table as follows:

Sites_by_tech = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
	VALUES(SMT_Export[Region]),
	"Count",
		CALCULATE(
			COUNTROWS(SMT_Export),
			SMT_Export[NR] = True,
			SMT_Export[Site Status] = "ON-AIR"
		)
)
