Hi @Anonymous ,

Just create an count measure:

Measure = COUNT('Table'[Date])

Thanks for the respone, I tried the same but no luck. However, I was able to get it fixed, the summarization is not working because Power Bi not able to reade Date column as date. When I try to apply format to date it started working fine. Appreciate for time and inputs provided. 

 

Regards,

Krishna.

Thanks for sharing the link, I did try same, however I couln't see the Date column which I should work for in Transform view. On the other, the date column is a derived (new measue) from other date column. Please advise is it something I am missing here.

 

Sincerely,

Krishna.

Hi, @Anonymous , it's merely a matter of clicks on the Power Query UI,

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, I try to follow the steps how ever I could'n see the data column in Transform as if the data column is derived from other date colunm. Please advise is there any other workaround.

Thanks,

Krishna.
