DAX: Distinct count with multiple filters
Hi,
I'm quite new to DAX and I don't seem to get a good formula for the below calculation.
I have many products that were sold over the years.
Now, I want to distinct count the products that were sold > 50 in the year 2021
I tried this but didn't work:
=IF(CALCULATE([Volume];'Calendar'[Year]=2021)>50;DISTINCTCOUNT([Product]))
Could you help out? Many thanks!

Hi,
Distinct_Vol>50_Year2021 = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sales[Product] ), 'Calendar'[Year] = 2021, Sales[Volume] > 50 )Regards
Great simple & elegant solution. Thank you.

Anonymous Yep, VahidDM's solution was the route I was thinking about, COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(FILTER. Could also be written:
Measure = COUNTROWS DISTINCT( SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', YEAR( 'Table'[Date]) = 2021 && [Sales (kg)] > 50), "__Product",[Product] ) ) )The difference is that you are returning distinct products in the above measure versus distinct table rows. Not sure if that matters or not.
Hi Greg_Deckler ,
Thanks but it's still not working out for me. Could easily be the fact that I'm new but the tables are different.
So I have a "Calendar" table where I want the year to be 2021.
Than I have a measure 'Sales (kg)' that I want to be > 50
Many thanks,
Lenn

Hi Anonymous
Ii it possible to share sample of your table(s) here? not as a screenshot😎
Or can you share your PBIX file here?(Dropbod, gofile.io, google drive)
Appreciate your Kudos ✌️ !!

Anonymous Perhaps try COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(FILTER('Table',<filters go here>)))
If that is not helpful. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2. - Jos_Woolley
Works fine for me. Perhaps share your file.
