Count unique values
Hello,
I have a table which I hope to display along with a visualization Card indicating the total count of PastDue values in the therapy column which in this case would be 1. Any thoughts on what function I can use within a measure?
| id_no | therapy | next_therapy |
| A | Ok | 2/28/2018 |
| B | Ok | 12/6/2017 |
| C | PastDue | 6/8/2017 |
| D | DueSoon | 10/11/2017 |
| E | PastDue | 5/17/2017 |
| F | Ok | 1/5/2018 |
Hey,
I'm wondering why it's 1, I would count it 2, because there are two unique id_no with the value "PastDue" ,but nevertheless.
This measure should return 1
CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('yourtable'[therapy]) ,'yourtable'[therapy] = "PastDue" )Hopefully this is what you are looking for
Regards
Tom

Awesome!! You're right. Should have been 2. I used Count instead of distinct count. Seems to work. Thanks again. I am new to this. Deffinately enjoying the ride. Thanks again.

Hi,
I have a table with several rows (1 per client). I need to evaluate a column for PastDue Answers. That is, I need to know, of all the clients, how many have PastDue within the given column. I hope to use a visualization Card to display the result (total of answers with the word "PastDue").

The result worked, however, it leads to another question.
When filtering by worker, some are all up-to-date therfore no "PastDue"s within the column. When that happens, PBI displays (Blank) on the visualizations Card. Any way to have it display 0 instead? Or even "All up to date"?

Hi JoseAriel,
Shouldn't the answer be 2 - there are 2 ID's with an entry of Past due? Please clarify.
