how to count a measure with string values

Hi everyone,
Screenshot 2023-08-10 174157.png

i am trying to count the number of occurrences of the string values, "win", "loss", "retained", "NA".

i have a measure that tags a label to each customercode. i use a measure instead of a column because there is a slicer that the user can use to determine a period of inactivity for the customercode. for example, if the slicer chosen is 6 months, that means that if the customer has no revenue in 6 months, they are lost. if the revenue is the same as the total revenue, means the customer is new etc.

i want to count the number of occurences in the measure below. so that i know how many customers are won, loss etc. how do i do so?

Hi @learningOh ,

 

I made a simple example for reference. There is a code column, the test measure, just like in your screenshot. Then you want to calculate the number of wins and losses.

Create a table for different types. Here I used Enter Data.

Create a measure for counting.

Count = COUNTX(FILTER('Table',[test]=MAX('Table (2)'[type])),[Code])

Then check the below table visual.
