Hello,
I have a table of "Parts replaced" and dates.
I need to send an alert if a part was replaced over X times in one week.
(that means that I need to follow on each parts and the number of time is was replaced per week. I have hunderds of parts so doing a single card\KPI for each parts is not realitic)
Is there a way I can do that?
(I know that alerts work with one value, but I have multiple value - a lot of parts replaced)
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
@YaelKiselman - I can't think of one, it's either 100 cards or a single card that alerts on any of the parts. I don't see another way.
Been a while since I've done anything with alerts, but could you not look at it in another way and configure a table that compares the number of replacements with the relevant threshold, filters down to just those that you're interested in (not sure if your X value is static or dependent on part, but is should be workable with a measure either way) and just send that table through automatically instead?
@YaelKiselman - You could create a measure something like:
Measure =
VAR __Table = ADDCOLUMNS(DISTINCT('Table'[Part]),"Calc",<some calculation>)
RETURN
MAXX(__Table,[Calc])
So, the some calculation is where you would put your calculation for frequency of replacement.

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
Hi @Greg_Deckler and @jthomson
First, Thanks for the answer!
Buy I still don't think this answers my problem.
I've created a table with parts and #replaces - This I have.
I need to send an alert on the parts that #replaced is above X (let's say X=3) - not 1 numeric number but a few!
e.g if part X and part Y have above 3 replaces then I need to send an alert to email on part X and Y.
I have 100+ parts so doing 100+ cards(and alert to mail on each card) is not an option.
any suggestions?
Thanks!
