Hi
Im trying to do a distinct count of rows by a period finish date, on top of this i need one of the columns to CONTAIN the word "travel" so far i have got it working when i search for a specific word using the below DAX but cant figure out how to get it working when i need it to only contain certain text?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@moomarine quick way could be add another column by concatenate resource name and date to make it unique record, and then use that in distinct count
New Column =
Table[Resource Name] & FORMAT( Table[Date Column], "YYYYMMDD" )
and your measure, in distinct count, use New Column

Hi @moomarine
Try this
Measure =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(
GROUPBY(
Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report,
Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report[Period Finish],
Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report[Resource Name]
),
KEEPFILTERS(
SEARCH( "travel", Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report[Activity], 1, FALSE() )
)
)
)
Hi @moomarine
Try SEARCH function like below.
Measure =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS( 'Table' ),
KEEPFILTERS(
SEARCH( "travel", 'Table'[Commects], 1, FALSE() )
)
)
Thanks for the help but the other solution worked well for me so didnt get a chance to test your one.
@moomarine you can try something like this
Measure =
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report[Period Finish]),
SEARCH("travel", Rate_Card_Daily_Time_Report[Activity], , -1 ) > 0
)

Hi parry2k
That did work but has highlighted another issue for me. I have another column which is the resource full name. If the distinct value in column [period finish] has a different resource full name i need those to still be calculated. Not sure if that makes sence? So its only considered distinct if the resource full name matches.
@moomarine can you share sample data and explain what you are looking for .

Hi sorry but cant share the file as its sensitive info. below is a screen shot. So in column [period finish] there is multiple 12 January 2019 which need to be counted as they have "travel" in column [activity] but if you look at the rows for resource name Jason he has 2 rows that are 12 January 2019, i need this to be considered a count of 1 for Jason as its a duplicate. but the total for what you see in photo would be 3 for 12 January 2019.
