Defining a measure for several columns

[EngCicero]

Hi,

i have a table like this

sale ID	seller ID	Error type 1	type 2	type 3	type 4	type 5
140736742	552	error		error
154564108	554
205626417	558			error	error
42810745	554		error
32667322'	552			error		error

I want a measure to sum number of errors for all table, like total number of errors = 7

The only wayi thinking to do is =

CALCULATE( COUNT('data'[type2), data'[type2) = "error")
then sum all this measures.
Please, I need a quicker way

Hi @EngCicero ,

It seems to me that if you use measure, summing up each column individually at the end is the only way to go.

Hi,

In the Query Editor, select the first 2 columns, right click and select "Unpivot Other Columns".  Now write this measure

Errors = calculate(countrows(data),data[value]="error")

Hope this helps.

Hello @Ashish_Mathur n @Greg_Deckler .

I didn't make myself clear enough, tihs error cells are tests for a process, this functions are not in my database. those errors are the results of more complex Switchs tests.
I'm stucked here
Thank you both anyway

@EngCicero OK, then you want MC Aggregations: Multi-Column Aggregations (MC Aggregations) - Microsoft Power BI Community

Hi,

I am sorry but i do not understand your requirement.

@EngCicero I would highly recommend unpivoting your "error" columns. If not that, then you are stuck with MC Aggregations: Multi-Column Aggregations (MC Aggregations) - Microsoft Power BI Community
