"Countif" across two tables in Direct Query

Hi All,

 

Im really stuck on something that should be so simple.

 

I am trying to Count the Number of Sales Executives that have sales more than Zero. Which is accurate with applied slicers such as Month year and Store. So that we can have a sales revenue divided by Sales Execs.  The sales execs name is in one Table and the Revenue is in another. Im really struggling with the count function of the sales person.

 

The name is in 'Sales Name'[Sales Exec]

 

and the Sales Revenue is in  'Sales Revenue'[Revenue_Awarded]

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Try this MEASURE

 

MEASURE =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Sales Name'[Sales Exec] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Sales Name'[Sales Exec] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sales Revenue'[Revenue_Awarded] ) ) > 0
    )
)

Thank you for your reply however this doesnt appear to work in direct query.

 

I get the error message "Function 'Filter' is not supported in this context in DirectQuery mode.

 

Is there another way??Image for community2.jpg

Hi @Anonymous

 

Did you add it as a MEASURE or Calculated Column?

@Anonymous

 

here is another way

 

MEASURE =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Sales Name'[Sales Exec] ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sales Revenue'[Revenue_Awarded] ) ) > 0
    )
)
