Group, sum, and compare

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to determine whether or not a user has completed their online training plan. In the table below you will see two users who have 4 courses, some online some classroom that comprises their overall training plan. In order to figure out what their online training plan, I'd need to filter the course type by "online" and also filter required by "1" because "0" indicates optional. The desired result to be able to show 2 cards: 1 that displays the # of users who have actually completed their training plan, 1 that displays the # of users who were planned to have completed their training plan.

With the data below, those cards would show 1 (User ZZZZ completed all of their required, online training) over 2 (the total number of users being considered. The logic I've come up with, hence the title of the post, is as follows:

• Filter by "course type = online" and "required = 1"
• Group by username
• Sum the the completed
• Sum the required
• Compare completed and required
  • If these match, then the user has completed their training plan, else they have not

I feel like I've tried it all, but haven't been able to get anything to work. Can you all assist?

Username	Course Type	Completed	Required
ZZZZ	Classroom	0	1
ZZZZ	Online	0	0
ZZZZ	Online	1	1
ZZZZ	Online	1	1
XXXX	Online	1	0
XXXX	Online	1	1
XXXX	Classroom	1	1
XXXX	Online	0	1

I've realized that I need to create a column in order to calculate the number of users who have completed their training plan. How would I achieve the column entitled "Training Plan Completed?"?

Username	Course Type	Completed	Required	Training Plan Completed?
ZZZZ	Classroom	0	1	1
ZZZZ	Online	0	0	1
ZZZZ	Online	1	1	1
ZZZZ	Online	1	1	1
XXXX	Online	1	0	0
XXXX	Online	1	1	0
XXXX	Classroom	1	1	0
XXXX	Online	0	1	0

With the solutions you have provided I think I'm close. Would love to hear what your ideas/solutions are.

Hi @Anonymous

With the same conditions you specified in the first post, I believe you can use this measure to count the number of users completed their plan. (Without the need to add a separate column)

Measure =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        SUMMARIZE (
            FILTER (
                TableName,
                TableName[Course Type] = "Online"
                    && TableName[Required] = 1
            ),
            TableName[Username],
            TableName[Course Type],
            "Total Completed", SUM ( TableName[Completed] ),
            "Total Required", SUM ( TableName[Required] )
        ),
        [Total Completed] = [Total Required]
    )
)

I believe this worked! Do you know how I could retrieve the username of the users to validate whether or not the logic worked?

Hey @Anonymous

Is this the result you are looking for?

[Anonymous]

@parry2k - Thanks for the response!

This is exactly what I'm looking for. How did you do it?

[parry2k · Accepted solution]

Perfect, here are dax formulas for you:

1st - add measure for total required

Total Required = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Required]), Filter(Table2, Table2[Course Type] = "Online"))

2nd - add measure for total completed

Total Completed = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Completed]), FILTER(Table2, Table2[Course Type] = "Online" && Table2[Required] = 1))

3rd - add measure to check if completed

Is Completed = 
var isCompleted = [Total Required] - [Total Completed]
return if(isCompleted=0, UNICHAR(10003), UNICHAR(215))

Add fields to a table visual and filter visual or page by course type and select "online"

and you will get the result.

 Although there are other ways to do it as well, without creating measures  but I prefer this way.

@parry2k - Thanks again for the solution.

If I want to display the count of the users who have completed their training plan versus those who have not completed their training plan, how would I go about doing that?

What I'm looking to do is to have 3 cards:

# of users who completed training plan --> 1

# of users who have not completed training plan --> 2

% of users who have completed training plan --> 50%

Basically, I want to count the number of checks and divide that by the sum of checks and x's.

Recommended way would be if you have another tables with users, if not, it can be easily created in powerbi

I do have another table with users, but I'm not sure how to apply the measures you've provided me to the list of users that I have.

Good solution by @parry2k

Just another way of doing this

Go to modelling tab and create new table with this formula

NewTable =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER (
            TableName,
            TableName[Course Type] = "Online"
                && TableName[Required] = 1
        ),
        TableName[Username],
        TableName[Course Type],
        "Total Completed", SUM ( TableName[Completed] ),
        "Total Required", SUM ( TableName[Required] )
    ),
    "Is Completed",
    VAR isCompleted = [Total Required] - [Total Completed]
    RETURN
        IF ( isCompleted = 0, UNICHAR ( 10003 ), UNICHAR ( 215 ) )
)
