Hey,

 

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, the result of the measure looks promising

2017-08-04_10-26-46.png

Here is the measure

Measure = 
SUMX(
UNION(
	SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"ContainsA", 'Table1'[Dim1]),
	SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"ContainsA", 'Table1'[Dim2]),
	SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"ContainsA", 'Table1'[Dim3]),
	SELECTCOLUMNS('Table1',"ContainsA", 'Table1'[Dim4])			
)
,IF([ContainsA] = "A", 1, 0))

Basically this measure creates a table for each row (maybe you have to put CALCULATE() to its magically use if your table and model much more complex than my simple model.

Than SUMX iterates over the 4 ROWS and sums the result.

 

I created a measure but this should also be usable by creating a calculated column.

 

Cheers

Is this possible to do with creating a new column instead of measure ??

Hello Mr.Tom,

 

Thanks for query and its works for few records and rest of records shows more then having columns.

For example the formula applied for  7 columns where as the result  shows the value more than 7.

 

Kindly provide any another solution.

Hey,

 

to be of further help you have to provide sampledata, that help to reproduce the wrong beings of my solution.

 

Prepare Excel Data or PBIX using Enter Data and make the file available from onedrive or dropbox.

 

Cheers
