Hi there,
Just wondering if someone can help with the below:
I want to calculate distinct value for my measure
Solved! Go to Solution.
This should get you the result you wanted- worked for my test:
Serious Incident Total =
VAR _Incidents = CALCULATETABLE(
DISTINCT( Forms[itrak_formid] ),
Forms[Form Type] = "Incident & Investigation"
)
VAR _NotSerious = CALCULATETABLE(
DISTINCT( Forms[itrak_formid] ),
Forms[Category] = "Not Serious"
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
EXCEPT( _Incidents, _NotSerious )
)
We create a table of distinct incidents (_Incidents), a table of distinct not serious forms (_NotSerious),
Remove IDs that appear in _NotSerious from _Incidents,
And count the rows on the resulting table.

Hi, @chavanr
Could you please consider sharing more details about it and posting expected result so it is clear on what needs to be implemented? And It would be great if there is a sample file without any sesentive information here.
It makes it easier to give you a solution.

@chavanr , if want distinct values a measure first you need to get a grouping for that
like
measure =
var _tab = summarize(Forms,Forms[Column], "_1",[Total Incidents ])
return
countx(values(_tab[_1],[_1])
measure =
var _tab = summarize(Forms,Forms[Column], "_1",[Total Incidents ])
return
countx(summarize(_tab, _tab[_1],[_1])
