Hi @jaydesai28,

 

You may try to achieve this requirement via Power Query.

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\Sample Data.xlsx"), null, true),
    #"Test data_Sheet" = Source{[Item="Test data",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Test data_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Id", Int64.Type}, {"A", Int64.Type}, {"B", Int64.Type}, {"A-B", Int64.Type}, {"C", Int64.Type}, {"D", Int64.Type}, {"C-D", Int64.Type}, {"E", Int64.Type}, {"F", Int64.Type}, {"E-F", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Id", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Custom", each if [Value]=0 then 1 else 0),
    #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "TotalCount", (This) => List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom",each [Id] = This[Id])[Custom])),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom2",{"Custom"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

Hi @jaydesai28

 

If your DAX table looks exactly like the image and your column names are [A - B] etc, then you can try

 

Measure = CALCULATE(
            COUNTROWS('Table'),
            ALLSELECTED('Table'),
            'Table'[A - B] = 0, 
            'Table'[C - D] = 0 , 
            'Table'[E - F] = 0
            )

Hi @Phil_Seamark

 

I am getting blank values for new column.

Hi @jaydesai28

 

The code I suggested was for a calculated measure.

 

If you'd like it as a calculated column then please try this

 

Column= if(
            
            'Table'[A - B] = 0 &&
            'Table'[C - D] = 0 &&
            'Table'[E - F] = 0 , 1, ,0
            )

Hi @Phil_Seamark

 

It's only checking whether coulums have 0 or not. I have to count the zeros.

The ouput should be like as below:

Hi @v-yulgu-msft

Thanks for contributing to this post. I tried this strategy for a similar data set and was successful with the counting procedure, but I am getting duplicates in my data set after the Pivot step. I believe the List.Distinct fuction is supposed to take care of that, so I must have something entered wrong. My code is below, do you have any insight into how I can fix this? I removed columns names from the first few steps for brevity. 

 

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(Web.Contents(Path & File, [Timeout=#duration(0, 0, 2, 0)]), null, true),
    Worksheet2 = Source{[Name="Worksheet1"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(Worksheet2, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns"),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Removed Columns", {"Name"}, "Attribute", "Value"), 

    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "L1Yes", each if [Value] = "Yes" and Text.Contains([Attribute], "L1") then 1 else 0 ),
    #"Added Custom2" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "L1No", each if [Value] = "No" and Text.Contains([Attribute], "L1") then 1 else 0 ),
    #"Added Custom3" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom2", "L1NA", each if [Value] = "N/A" and Text.Contains([Attribute], "L1") then 1 else 0 ),
    #"Added Custom4" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom3", "CountL1Yes", (This) => List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom3",each [Name] = This[Name])[L1Yes])),
    #"Added Custom5" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom4", "CountL1No", (This) => List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom4",each [Name] = This[Name])[L1No])),
    #"Added Custom6" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom5", "CountL1NA", (This) => List.Sum(Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom5",each [Name] = This[Name])[L1NA])),

    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#Added Custom6", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns2"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value", List.Sum),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"L1.1", "L2.1", "L2.2", "L2.3", "L2.4", "L2.5", "L2.6", "L2.7", "L2.8", "L2.9", "L2.10", "L2.11", "L3.1", "L3.2", "L3.3", "L3.4", "L3.5", "L3.6", "L3.7", "L3.8", "L3.9", "L3.10", "L3.11", "L4.1"}),

    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns1", "L1PercentComplete", each [CountL1Yes]/([CountL1Yes]+[CountL1No])),
    
in
    #"Added Custom1"
