COUNT DISTINCT of expression evaluated at each row

Hi all,

 

I need to count the distinct # of suppliers with products having a lower margin than a field parameter. Assuming the user selects 5% as parameter, I would like to have 2 for suppliers count from the example below (A and C).

SupplierProductMarginCOUNT DISTINCT
A11%A
A22%A
B310% 
C44%C
    
    


As the field parameter is dynamic, I cannot use a calculated column which will only use the default value of the parameter but not update dynamically.

In SQL, I would use something like COUNT DISTINCT (IF margin < parameter then supplier else null)
What DAX formula can I use for similar result?

Thanks in advance for your help

BR

Hi @MrBlueSky2 
Please use below code

SuppliersWithLowMarginCount =
VAR LowMarginSuppliers =
CALCULATETABLE(
DISTINCT('Table'[Supplier]),
'Table'[Margin] < [FieldParameter]
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(LowMarginSuppliers)
