Calculate Appointment participants

Hi,
I'm totally new to everything PowerBI and have previously worked mostly in development, as such im not to experienced with Excel either, so bare with me 🙂

I got a problem that that making me bald, it's quite complex (I think). Basicly I have a Dataset of Appointments from Dynamics that contains:

  • Date 
  • Organizer (1 name)
  • Participants (0-N names delimited by ";")
  • Subject (Meeting Subject)
  • Regarding (Name of the regarding case)

 

So i want to make a graph that shows the attendence count of each organizer and participant in a given timeframe.

Count on the Y and Name of Person on X.
I have tried to split the participants column into multiple rows, but then i get lost with the counting since organizer the appears over multiple rows on the same Appointment. So i need to count the individual participants and organizer on each appintment but make sure that the organizer just being counted once for each exact date.

I feel that im just running in circles, anyone here have some good ideas on this issue?

Thanks a bunch

I would split that column out and then unpivot the column so that you end up with one row per participant for each appointment. Then the counting should be trivial.

Hi,

 

Write this measure

 

Number of Organisers = DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[Organizer])

 

Hope this helps.
