Power BI: COUNTA using multiple filter criteria across multiple columns in a single table!

[Khoward866]

Hello All,

I am fairly new to Power BI and DAX and I am struggling with getting the below measure to work (I have provided to different version of what I have tried). I am trying to COUNTA the # of items that met certain criteria in two separate columns. Each column that the measure looks at has at least 3 filter criteria and in column two I need to use wildcards as the data there in has entries that share the first two values but the 3rd value could change over time. Any assistance would be amazing as I have tried dozens of different ways and I still cannot figure it out.

GA = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Table,[Item]),filter(Table,Table[Column 1]in{"GA","SP"}) , Filter(Table,Table[Column2]in{"MT*","GA*","SP*","OP*"}))

GA = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Table[Item]),Table[Column1]= "GA" || Table[Column1]= "SP" && Table[Column2]="GA*" || Table[Column2]= "OP*" || Table[Column2]]= "SP*" || Table[Column2]= "MT*")

Unfortunately I cannot provide an example of the data.

Thank you in advance!
