Excel formula to Dax - Counting distinct values based on the date

cooksteve09 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 08:40:15 GMT

Morning all,

I am hoping for a little help to convert the following formual to Dax or advice as this maybe easier utilising a calculated table?

Basically it is counting distinct values based on the date

=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF([@[Offer_Date]]=[Offer_Date], COUNTIF([Offer_Account], "<"&[Offer_Account]), ""), (COUNTIF([Offer_Account], "<"&[Offer_Account])))>0))

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Perhaps this measure:

MyMeasure = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Offer_Account] ), ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Offer_Date] ) )

Regards

Thank you but that seems to be counting Distinct Accounts only....if the account appears on different days i need it to count both instances

hope that makes sense

But unless I'm mistaken your Excel formula is not doing that - the part

IF([@[Offer_Date]]=[Offer_Date],...

means that the counts will be for a given date only.

Post a small copiable dataset together with expected results.

Found this in another topic and works great once adjusted for my table and column names

Measure 2 = var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Shop],'Table'[Date],"distinctcount",DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Customer]))
return
SUMX(_table,[distinctcount])
