Hello
I have the following data in a table visualization in Power BI and i simply want to count the number of names and show the total at the bottom of the table in a row with the text: Total = 11. Under Format, i have the Total option enabled but it does not show anything new in the visual. Any help is much appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Here is a "hack". Create a measure along the lines of:
With Totals =
IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Name]), MAX('Table'[Name]), "Total " & COUNTROWS('Table'))
Create the table visual with the name field and the measure and turn off the word wrap options in the formatting pane:
Now hide the name column by dragging the column's border left:

Thank you PaulDBrown, I was looking for a similar solution and your post helped me.
@Anonymous unfortunately that is not possible with the measure without using another column on the rows or values. The only way I can think of creating a new table that has all the student names and a new row with a total number of students and then you use it in your visual and that will work.

Could you please explain what's the difference between your code and this code which gives the same results:
Name count = COUNTROWS('Student name list')
@Anonymous you need to create a measure to make it work. I guess at this point you have put a name column on the rows and it is not getting aggregated. To make it work, add a following measure and use it on the values:
New Measure =
IF ( HASONEFILTER ( YourTable[Student Name] ),
MAX ( YourTable[Student Name] ),
Format ( COUNTROWS ( YourTable ), "General Number" )
)
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make effort to give Kudos to whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

Hi @parry2k Thanks for your reply! I did as you suggested but it does not look right since i only want one column of names and the total number of names underneath. Is that possible?
If i remove "Student Name" field from the values, i get only the total and no list of names.
