Group By 3 fields and Count another field based on Condition

Hi, i have a table with 4 fields and i want to Group By 3 of them and the 4th field has values of {"CM","PM","TOB"} and i want to Count each of them related to the Grouping. How can i apply this please ?

  • Hello

     

    check out this approach. It uses Table.Group and a special function to count your specific items.

    Use this variable to input your items to be counted

    ItemsToCount = {"CM", "PM", "TOB"},

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSgWNnX6VYHVShAHKFQvydMMSg5icBmTAcgCkE1BmTB9OOJkGMfpAtsQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}}),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group
        (
            #"Changed Type", 
            {"Column1", "Column2", "Column3"}, 
            {
                {
                    "Count", 
                    (tbl)=>
                    let 
                        ItemsToCount = {"CM", "PM", "TOB"},
                        CountItems = Text.Combine(List.Transform(ItemsToCount, (trans)=> trans &": " & Text.From(List.Count(List.Select(tbl[Column4],each _ = trans)))), ", ")
                    in 
                        CountItems
                }
            }
        )
    in
        #"Grouped Rows"

     

     

    Copy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works.

  • Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

    Table:

     

    You may create a measure as below.

    Result = 
    var cm = 
    COALESCE(
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                'Table',
                [WoType]="CM"
            )
        ),0
    )
    var pm = 
    COALESCE(
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                'Table',
                [WoType]="PM"
            )
        ),0
    )
    var tob = 
    COALESCE(
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                'Table',
                [WoType]="TOB"
            )
        ),0
    )
    return
    "CM:"&cm&" PM:"&pm&" TOB:"&tob

     

    Result:

      Anonymous , DAX is born for such a statistical job. It's only a matter of several drag-n-drop into a matrix viz. It takes 10 seconds only; then you can sit back and relax...
