Hello,

I'm newbie with Power BI.

I'm quite familiar with VBA, but not at all with Dax.

I started building my first Power BI report based on several data base fields, but would need to do some calculation with Dax.

I spent time with Microsoft Dax functions definitions (Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) Reference - DAX), but didn't find my solution.


Challenge n°1: Measure to count iteration of specific character string

In database "Projects", I've a column [AreaImpacted] where I can find market( s) impacted on each line of the database. NB: There can be one or several markets per line (if several, separator is ",").

For each market (hopefully, number is limited), I'd like to create a specific measure calculating the number of iteration (no matter if the market is alone or not on the line looking at)

e.g.:

AreaImpacted
USA
USA, France, Canada
Germany
France
Canada, USA


Results should be:
#USA = 3​
#France = 2​
#Canada = 2​
#Germany = 1​



Do someone could help me with the formulae's?

#USA =
CALCULATE (
…​
)


Thanks a lot


Fab

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
