Count Rows in Table Based on Value

I have looked through this forum for my specific issue and couldn't find anything. 

 

I have a calculated column that measures the depth of a hierarchy for an individual,  For example, president = 1, VP = 2, Director =3, Manager = 4 and so on. 

 

I have a formula that I determine the minimum hierarchy number in the list. So if none filtered, hierarchy = 1. I want to count the amount of times 1 appears in the table however when I enter the dax formula for count I get the count for the entire table.

 

Here is my formula.

 

For Min value:

.Min Security Level = Calculate(Min(Security[HierarchyDepth]),AllSelected(Security[HierarchyDepth]))

 

For Count:

.Count Hierarchy Depth = Calculate(COUNT(Security[HierarchyDepth]),Filter(Security,Security[HierarchyDepth]=[.Min Security Level]))

 

No matter how I change the count formula, the count comes out the same. It counts the entire table. My initial thought is ".Min Security Level" is being evaluated at each line but I thought that MinX was used for that.  

 

I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

     

    Try something like this

     

    Count Hierarchy Depth = 

var a = SELECTEDVALUE(Security[HierarchyDepth])
RETURN
Calculate(COUNT(Security[HierarchyDept]),FILTER(Security, Security[HierarchyDepth] = a))

      This worked! Thank you so much. The only thing I changed was "var a".  I used mina with it.  

       

      So my final formula was

       

      .Count Hierarchy Depth = 

var a = Mina(Security[HierarchyDepth])
RETURN
Calculate(COUNT(Security[HierarchyDepth]),FILTER(Security, Security[HierarchyDepth] = a))
