CALCULATE a DISTINCTCOUNT using BLANK() as criteria

Hello Power BI wizards and witches,

I have an issue I don't know how to handle, so please help.

I have two tables: Agreement and Opp. They are linked by a one-to-many relationship (Agreement: one; Opp: many) via the field 'Agreement Number'.

The Opp contains two columns: Agreement Number and Opp Number.

Not all Agreements have Opp Numbers.

I'd like to have a count of how many Agreement Numbers don't have any Opp Numbers.

So, in the Agreement table, I've added the following measure:

Agreements w/o Opps =

CALCULATE(

DISTINCTCOUNT('Agreement'[Agreement Number'),

ISBLANK(Opp[Opp Number])=TRUE()

)

I get a blank 😞

I swear there are some, as I listed them in a table (Agreement[Agreement Number] and Opp[Opp Number], and clicked on 'Show items with no data'.

Thank you so much,

Alice

@AliceW try this measure

 

Measure = 
CALCULATE ( 
    COUNTROWS ( Agreement ), 
    FILTER ( 
        SUMMARIZE (   Agreement , Agreement[Agreement],  "_c", COUNTROWS ( Opp ) ), 
        [_c] = BLANK() 
    ) 
)

# Agg wo Opp :=
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Agreement'[Agreement Number] ),
    Opp[Opp Number] = BLANK ()
)

Hi Antriksh,

I still get a blank. I have no idea why.

Update: I changed the cross filter direction to 'one way' and it works. But why does it work?

Shouldn't it work with both options?

Thank you!

Alice

That's strange I tried to create a dummy model and it worked, but it is good you have found the solution 🙂

I know, it's weird, right? I used this kind of measure before and it worked!

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer - and create a dummy model!!
