COUNTIFS in Power BI

Hello all,

 

Hoping someone can help. I'm trying to recreate the below excel formula in Power BI

 

=COUNTIFS(G:G,"<="&H:H,AL:AL,"")

 

I've tried combinations of 

 

Count = COUNTROWS(FILTER( 

 

I've referred to my field names rather than the column letter etc but still can't get it to work. How can I do he formula above but of course subsitute column names for the fields.

 

Thanks

Hi @Dan27,

 

Based on this sample data, is 3 the desired result? If so, please new a measure and add it to card visual.

Measure1 = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table2),FILTER(Table2,Table2[G]<=Table2[H]))

For more advice, please illustrate your requirement with actual sample data and desired result rather than just the Excel functions.

COUNTIFS in Excel are generally replaced by using CALCULATE.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks Greg but in what format?

 

If I use FieldName = CALCULATE([Field1] <= [Field2], " ") for example then I get a message saying the maximum argument count is 2. 

 

Appreciated. Thanks.

Hereis the example.

 

CALCULATE ( COUNT(Table1[Column1]), FILTER ( Table1, Table1[column1] < Table1[Clumn2]))

 

 

Thanks

Thanks Raj

 

What you've put is really helpful but it still won't work.

 

I 'm trying to work out where if Field or column 'G' is less than or equal to column 'H' then return the values of column 'AL' else return a " " blank.

 

I've tried a few variations of what you suggested but none work. Where above I've referenced column letters I have replaced these with (Table[field]) accordingly.

 

Thanks

Dan

That was the example of CALCULATE.

 

Here is teh syntax for your Question:

 

Calculated_Column=IF(Table1[ColumnG] <= Table1[ColumnH] , Table1[ColumnAL], BLANK()

 

If you want count.

 

Cnt_Measure = COUNT(Table1[Calculated_Column])

 

Thanks

Raj

Hi Raj

 

Thanks again for your help but again this isn't getting me the desired output because it's not performinng the count part.

 

I'm wanting to return a count of occurrences within a range. So my Excel equivalent would be

 

=COUNTIFS(G:G,"<="&H:H,AL:AL,"")

 

In Power BI this function doesn't work. I'm unsure if I can nest a COUNT and IF formula but so far what I've tried hasn't worked.

 

Thanks

Dan
