Adding Column Data, Based on Text

[ez1138]

Hi, I would like to calculate the total # of results for a given row/person for pass or fail.  What is the based way to perform this and display in a new column and potentially a tile?

Person	Test 1	Test 2	Test 3	Test 4
Adam	Pass	Pass	Fail	Pass
John	Pass	Fail	Pass	Pass
Joe	Fail	Pass	Fail	Fail

Hi, @ez1138 

According to your description, I think you can use'unpivot other columns' function in PQ first, then create a measure to display your desired result.

Like this:

Measure = 
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Person],
        'Table'[Value],
        "a",
            VAR a =
                COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Value] = "Fail" ) )
            VAR b =
                COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Value] = "Pass" ) )
            RETURN
                IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Value] ) = "Pass", b, a )
    ),
    [a]
)

Here is my sample .pbix file.Hope it helps.

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

The process is called unpivoting - transforming your source data into usable format.

let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WckxJzFXSUQpILC5GUG6JmTkwXqxOtJJXfkYedlkURakYklAemIqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Person = _t, #"Test 1" = _t, #"Test 2" = _t, #"Test 3" = _t, #"Test 4" = _t]),
#"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Person"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
#"Unpivoted Other Columns"
