I'm trying to count how many months an item had demand greater than the forecast.

[khacker3]

How do I count how many months an item had demand over the forecast amount? I am an inventory planner so I forecast inventory demand for each month. I created an if statement that shows if the demand is greater for each month which is displayed as a "Y" for over forecast and "N" for under forecast but I actually want to see the number of months that the item was over forecast and under. So for example if demand for that item came in higher than the forecast for the months September, October and November then number would be 3.

@khacker3 You should be able to do something along the lines of:

Measure =
  COUNTROWS(FILTER(SUMMARIZE('Table',[Month],"__Value",[Your measure Y/N]),[__Value]="Y"))

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
