Count distinct with priority

rdnguyen — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 22:32:10 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have a list of items that I did count for late delivery and on time delivery. It means the item could be in both category Late and On-time. By doing the count for each category, I realized the total was over calculated. For example, I counted Item A has 1 "late", 2 "on-time", but would be considered "late" in overall.

How could I add this filter condition while counting on-time for not including this item?

Hi rdnguyen

you need to iterate over "items" like

SUMX (

VALUES ( 'Table'[Item Name] ),

[Count Measure]

)

Hi rdnguyen ,

Based on your description, I have created a simple sample:

Please try:

Late = var _a = SUMMARIZE('Table',[ID],"Flag",IF("Late" in SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])),"Category",[Category]),"Late","On-Time")) return COUNTX(FILTER(_a,[Flag]="Late"),[Flag]) On-Time = var _a = SUMMARIZE('Table',[ID],"Flag",IF("Late" in SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID])),"Category",[Category]),"Late","On-Time")) return COUNTX(FILTER(_a,[Flag]="On-Time"),[Flag])

Final output:
