Total distinct count not matching with individual status count

abdul_kalam84 — Sat, 05 Dec 2020 19:31:25 GMT

I am new to Power BI and DAX. Need help on below scenario

I am loading weekly incident files into PowerBI, which has incident number ,status and weekending date.

However same incident number can repeat with different status in other week file .

when I do distinct incident count form all files, I am getting 262 count but when displaying status wise count getting more .

Its understandable due to status change, incident number is duplicating but not sure how to match total distinct and category wise count. Please suggest.

Hi abdul_kalam84

Measure TOT = SUMX ( DISTINCT ( Table1[CurrentStatus] ), [YTDSOSub] )

Hi AlB

Thank you.

Below is my dataset structure , I am calculating distinct YTD count based on weekenddate. Here I am getting count is 3 which is correct .

but when display YTD by status, I am getting Open - 2, Closed-2 so total is 4 instead of 3 .How to handle this.

IncidentID Status WeekendDate

-------- ------ -------------
1234 Open 07-11-2020
5678 Closed 07-11-2020
1234 Closed 14-11-2020
4567 Open 14-11-2020

If you want the 3 at the total just use:

Measure = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[IncidentID ])
