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...

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 )
    )
)

And what is Actual - is that column or measure and how do you calculate it?

Actual is also a measure ,
Actual = Measure "Active" + Measure "Complete".

Business scenario here is , this data set includes prehistorical data. Not always a group has active students in it. My aim is to aggregate the Actuals when the Active column / measure has a value.

Perfect, it worked although I might need to sit and understand the formulas.

  Imi_Jay , glad to help. You may play with DAX Studio for better understanding of how formula works, e.g. evaluate SUMMARIZE only, etc.
