In this article, we will learn how we count the number of products and show them on the slicer. This is the general requirement of the client and we have to use DAX function to do this task.

Let’s start

To show the count of the product on slicer we have to first check the data and find the column name that has product info.

I am used data that is about grocery sale and Item Type column is using in today's task.

Now we have to create a new calculated table using a combination of DAX function.

newsales = SUMMARIZE(Sales, Sales[Item Type],
"_ProdCount",COUNT(Sales[Item Type])+ COUNTBLANK(Sales[Item Type]),
"_ProdNameCount",CALCULATE(IF(ISBLANK(VALUES(Sales[Item Type])),"Blank()",VALUES(Sales[Item Type])) & " (" & COUNT(Sales[Item Type])+COUNTBLANK(Sales[Item Type]))&")")

After the Execution of this function, a new sales table is created.

It’s time to plot data of the new sales table into the slicer. And I add table visual also to show to guys’ new sales table
