Using filter to compare two columns and count Rows from a category

Hi Everyone, Beginer here in Dax .

 

I have a Table as below .

 

IDPolicy NumberPolicy SequenceMaster Sequence
1234562121W13
12345621344523
123456415333
21345XVw1C12
21345XVCE22

 

My Table looks like Above , I would need to pick rows in this way after the filtering

and do the count of those rows that are filtered.

 

IDeal table

 

 

IDPolicy NumberPolicy SequenceMaster Sequence
123456415333
21345XVCE22

 

I can't seem to figur out exactly what need to be done in the filter.

 

My query is as below.

" CALCULATE(",

" DISTINCTCOUNT('Policy'[Policy Master Number]),",

" 'Policy' [Master Sequence] = 'Policy' [Policy Sequence]",

 

I know this should work in Sql and give a single row but i get this error when i try to do it this way to filter sigle row .

 

The expression contains multiple columns, but only a single column can be used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression."

 

Any Help here would be greatly appreciated .

Hi @Anonymous ,

You could try to add a filter in measure like below to see whether it work or not

 

 

Measure 2 = CALCULATE(MIN('Table (3)'[Master Sequence]), FILTER('Table (3)','Table (3)'[Policy Sequence]='Table (3)'[Master Sequence] && 'Table (3)'[Policy Number]=MIN('Table (3)'[Policy Number])))
Measure = CALCULATE(MIN('Table (3)'[Policy Sequence]), FILTER('Table (3)','Table (3)'[Policy Sequence]='Table (3)'[Master Sequence] && 'Table (3)'[Policy Number]=MIN('Table (3)'[Policy Number])))

Perhaps create a new column like:

 

Column = IF([Policy Sequence] = [Master Sequence],1,0)

 

Then just filter on Column = 1

@Greg_Deckler 

 

Thanks for the Quick Response , Is it possible to create a column from the set on the run time and filter the rows.

 

The reason i'm asking this, we are using this as an cube XMLA rather than a Power Bi Front End.

 

I would have to write a measure .
