Counting Rows of the Results given by a Measure from a Column in a Table

Hi all,

I have the following table in my report:

I am trying to work out a DAX logic that will effectively distinct count the number of tenants for each Building Name.

Already in Leased Area column is a measure which successfully applied a number of filters for rows of the table in the data model and sums up the values accordingly to give the total against that corresponding Building Name.

I want to use the same filter logic but perform a count of the results after that filtering is applied.

I have 2 questions:

1. What's the best way to use count to do this?

2. Since the same filtering logic might be used for additional column measures I might add to this table, is it more sensible to apply the filter one time as a measure in the filter pane and write these addiditional column measure calculations assuming this base filter logic has already been applied? For example, I could apply the base filtering in the filter pane for the visual with a conditional IF statement to say if all conditions are met for a row in the table then flag as 1, then filter just the 1s etc.

My measue for the Leased Area column of the table above is:

Total Leased Area = VAR _asOfDate = [As Of Date] VAR _assetref = MAX(Building[Asset Reference]) RETURN VAR result = CALCULATE ( SUMX ( VALUES (Lease_Unit[Unit Reference] ), SUMX ( TOPN ( 1, FILTER ( Lease_Unit, Lease_Unit[Unit Reference] = EARLIER ( Lease_Unit[Unit Reference] ) ), Lease_Unit[Lease.Commencement Date] ), Lease_Unit[Leased Area] ) ), OR( ISBLANK ( Lease_Unit[Unit.Unit Start Date] ), Lease_Unit[Unit.Unit Start Date] <= _asofdate ) && OR ( ISBLANK ( Lease_Unit[Unit.Unit End Date] ), Lease_Unit[Unit.Unit End Date] >= _asofdate ) , AND ( Lease_Unit[Lease.Expiration Date] >= _asOfDate, Lease_Unit[Lease.Commencement Date] <= _asOfDate ) || Lease_Unit[Lease.Lease Status] IN { "Holding Over", "Month-to-Month" }, OR( Lease_Unit[Lease.Termination Date] >= _asOfDate, isblank(Lease_Unit[Lease.Termination Date]) ) ) RETURN IF( result = BLANK() && ISBLANK([Total Leasable Area (Current)]) = FALSE, 0, result)

The measue I'd been using for the Tenants column, which is currently incorrect, is:

Total Tenants = VAR _table = FILTER ( SUMMARIZECOLUMNS ( Lease_Unit[Asset Reference], Lease_Unit[Lease_DST.Tenant Reference] ), SUM(Lease_Unit[Leased Area]) > 0 ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( _table )

How best should I go about using the filtering inherent in [Total Leased Area] to make a count of the results for each buillding name per row of the table?
How can I then create a card visual with the grand total of all tenants?

Hi julesdude,

Can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure with expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.
