Calculate function with a related table, multiple conditions and logic.

So I admit right away that I could be asking too much from a Calculate function. 😁

 

In my mind this is what I am picturing: 

 

GoQuote = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(T1[Quote Number]),

(T1[Process] <> "Standard" &&

'T2'[GoDate] >= DATE(2020,11,16))) 

 

The error I receive is:

 

The expression contains multiple columns but only a a single coumn can be used in a true/false expression that is used a a table filter expression.

 

Any idea how I can count the number of quotes in Table 1 that are not "Standard" and occur after a certain date located in Table 2?  Something tells me that I am overthinking this one.

 

Thanks!

Tom

@Frenchtom811 , check datatype T1[Process] should be text and 'T2'[GoDate]  should be Date. else adjust the formula or data type

@Frenchtom811 , is one of the filters is on a measure?

Try like

GoQuote = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(T1[Quote Number]),Filter(T1,T1[Process] <> "Standard") ,Filter('T2', 'T2'[GoDate] >= DATE(2020,11,16)))

Hello @amitchandak !  Thanks for the effort but I get the same error regarding the use of a True/False expression within a CALCULATE function.

@Frenchtom811 , Try like

GoQuote = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(T1[Quote Number]),
T1[Process] <> "Standard" , 'T2'[GoDate] >= DATE(2020,11,16))
