Using DAX summarize table to create column grouping using filtering and containsstring

[SChap]

Hi,

I would like to use a DAX formula to create column grouping due to the number of variable I need to group. When creating the summary table I can't seem to just create a filtered column. The below formula is successful, however fails when I add additional filtered columns. i only want to filter and group the message the count column is not required.

Any support would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Result Message required- Count colomn not required.

Cannot seem to add additional filtered columns

I found that you seem to be missing a comma between “Jog Mode” and "FILTER".

Why don't you simply create measure like below

If(containstring (MAX(table[column]),"drive")= TRUE,1,0)

IN IF PART ONLY ADD OTHER CONDITION USING OR OPERATOR (||)

And then add it as visual level filter and set it to 1.

Use like

calculate(countrows(Alarm),Filter(Alarm,<Clause>))

@amitchandak  I am wanting this to be a new table.  This looks like it is a measure within an existing table?

[amitchandak]

You have to use calculate or IF to create the measure or dimension member in summarize

If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.Thanks.

@amitchandak Thank you, simplified example below of what I am trying to achieve.

1. Detailed table

2. Would like to create a summary table to group the detailed table by animal type. For example a column for dogs, cats - etc. I can successfully create a summary table for text containing Dog but having trouble adding additional columns.

3. Required Result - Column for each defined containstring.

Thanks
