Measure that counts distinct values in column with slicer

A-Aron — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 21:56:35 GMT

Hello -

I have a table with 2 columns, "warehouse" and "part number" below . I need to slicer filter by warehouse and see the distinct count of part numbers in that column filktered by the selected warehouse. when Slicer is on BR card value should read 2. When VV is selected it should read 1. Any help would be apreciated.

Warehouse	Part number
BR	300
BR	250
VV	250
VV	250
VV	250
VV	250
VV	250

hi A-Aron

try to

1) create a table visual with column Warehouse and Part number.

2) Choose disctinct count for Part number.

3) Create a slicer with Warehouse column.

then you shall get what you need, or?

that method is generating an unexpected value. there are more distinct values than the standard count(distinct) choice is showing

hi A-Aron

yes. try to

1) create a slicer with warehouse column

2) feed a card visual with a measure like:

measure = DISTINCTCOUNT(TableName[part number])

then you get what you expect, or?

i have tried this among other solutions but the value is not correct. the dataset has other columns causing the distinct count to be altered. i am hoping i can use a measure to look at only count of unique part numbers by warehouse. sorry if i cannot explain clearly.

hi A-Aron

then how about:

measure =

CALCULATE(

DISTINCTCOUNT(TableName[part number]),

ALL(TableName),

VALUES(TableName[warehouse])

)
