(explanatory screenshot included) Writing DAX code for number of values in column per specific value

[kendall]

Hello,

I would like to create an additional column called "Index" that shows the number of surveys per employee. For example, in this screenshot, it looks like employee S-249 has four corresponding Surveys in the "Survey #" Column. What code would I write for an additional column that would show the number of surveys per employee?

Thanks, Kendall

Thanks serpiva. Forgive me as this is a basic question: where would I find the Group By function in the query editor? Thanks.

Hi,

Hi,

you have to Group By; something like this

then you expand your nested table and in the column Count you have your result (if you need to count for a period of time you have to add another Grouping

Hi Serpiva, so I am doing this, but when I put this out my Index column keeps coming out as "1". Why is it unable to count the number of surveys per employee? Thanks, Kendall

Hi,

you have to group only for Emplyee and then the count is going to be on surveys

When I do that, it comes out with only two columns: 

Is there anyway I can do this by adding a custom column to this existing Query using the Table.AddColumn function?

Hi,

that's because you have to add All Rows as a new column.

Then you expanded it and you have all of your rows with the total for employee

See it in the attached example
