Summing the values from multiple columns

Hello,

 

I have several columns of data which old a 'PASS' 'FAIL' or 'N/A' value.

 

I need to count per row the total 'PASS' values within all the columns.


So for example if Row A contained 12 PASSES and 6 FAILS, the new measure would show 12.

 

I can't seem to get a COUNTX to work but i'm probably not doing it right. 


Am I able to sum up a specific text value from multiple columns using DAX?

Here we have to create measure for each column. 

 

Pass Count = 

 calculate(counta( TableName(Column1)), TableName(Column1)="Pass") +

 calculate(counta( TableName(Column2)), TableName(Column2)="Pass") +

 calculate(counta( TableName(Column3)), TableName(Column3)="Pass") +

 calculate(counta( TableName(Column4)), TableName(Column4)="Pass") +

 calculate(counta( TableName(Column5)), TableName(Column5)="Pass") 

 

 

 

Note :

Replace Tablename and column name

Sure @Baskar see attached screenshot. I guess my post wasn't as self-explanatory as I thought :robotindifferentSample.PNG

You may select Unpivot Columns in Query Editor first.

Thanks @Baskar, it looks like this is summing columns, rather than rows? Each row in my dataset is an audit result,

So I actually don't care about the column totals at all, just the row totals. 

Therefore I figured I would have to create a new calculated column either in DAX or M to achieve this...

@Anonymous use the same formula to create calculated column, it will resolve your problem.
