DAX Question

I have a pivot table created through the data model. I am using measures on the pivot as columns.
Actual and Active are measures.
I want to calculate the total of Actuals where Active >0.
What DAX formula to use ? I couldn't use calculate as filters didn't take >0 as a filter. Thanks in advance!

    Perhaps like this

    where

    # of Active :=
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( Data_AO[Student] ),
    Data_AO[Status] = "Active"
)

////////////
# of Complete :=
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( Data_AO[Student] ),
    Data_AO[Status] = "Complete"
)

///////////
# of Actual :=
[# of Active] + [# of Complete]

//////////
# of Active Actual :=
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Data_AO[Group No] ),
    [# of Actual],
    SUMX (
        SUMMARIZE (
            Data_AO,
            Data_AO[Group No],
            "actives", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data_AO ), Data_AO[Status] = "Active" ),
            "completed", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data_AO ), Data_AO[Status] = "Complete" )
        ),
        IF ( [actives], [actives] + [completed], 0 )
    )
)

    For such model

    assuming you [Actual] and [Active] measures are like

    Actual:=SUM( Table1[Actual value] )
Active:=SUM( Table1[Active value] )

    Actual with totals for Active only could be

    Actual Active :=
IF (
    HASONEVALUE ( Table1[Active value] ),
    [Actual],
    CALCULATE ( [Actual], Table1[Active value] > 0 )
)

      My measure are different to what you have produced. Apologies I didn't explain the data set well. In the data set there is a column "Status" which has "active and completed as status.

      Hence my measure are as follows,
      Measure "Active" = CALCULATE(COUNT(Data_AO[Student]),Data_AO[Status]="Active")
      Measure "Complete" = CALCULATE(COUNT(Data_AO[Student]),Data_AO[Status]="Complete")

      There is no column as such "Active" or complete. In that case how can I write the formula. That's where I'm stuck. Thanks for the help!

    Imi_Jay Like this perhaps?

    Measure used:

     

    =CALCULATE(SUMX(Table1,Table1[Actual]),Table1[Active]>0)

     

     

    =CALCULATE(sumx(Table1,Table1[Actual]),Table1[Active]>0)

      Sorry I took long to trail this. I get this error message,
      This formula is invalid or incomplete: 'Calculation error in measure 'Data_AO'[Current enrolment]: A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.'.

      Data_AO is your Table 1.

      This is what I tried before which didn't work
