Hi sdhn

Try to add a column from your table to the formula:

OpenNMSCounts = Distinct(ALLSELECTED(Source[Column]))

It was my mistake. I rephrase my question.

I have merged multiple files onto one file during transformation & load. New file is called Source.

Source. Name column has all files name. This column has created by load process.

Below measure is counting one extra row. I want exact rows.

we are using following measure to get total counts of each types or files.

Source = CALCULATE(COUNT(Source[Source.Name]), ALLEXCEPT(Source,Source[Source.Name]))

Hi sdhn

Try this:

Source = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Source[Source.Name] ) ), ALLEXCEPT ( Source, Source[Source.Name] ) )

sdhn

Can you post sample data as text and expected output? or the PBIX file?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
4. Relation between your tables

Appreciate your Kudos!!
