Calculated measure in Filter function not working

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble understanding why my filter expression is not working. The syntax bellow uses a calculated measure named LOST, as well as the subsequent measures that I'm using.

 
Number of lost clients = CALCULATE( distinctCOUNT(sales_data_sample[CUSTOMER_NAME]), filter(sales_data_sample,[Lost] = "lost"))
 
Lost = IF(sales_data_sample[inactive] = "inactive", "lost", if(sales_data_sample[AVG order per month] >= 0.33, "not lost", "lost"))
 
Inactive = if(datediff(LASTDATE(sales_data_sample[ORDER_DATE]),date(2005,05,31),DAY) > 180,"inactive", "active")
 
AVG order per month =
if(sales_data_sample[months stay] = 0, 0, distinctcount(sales_data_sample[ORDER_DATE])/sales_data_sample[months stay])
 
The following is a table visual where I use the measures above to tell if a client is considered lost or not.

I have in total 92 unique costumer names in the dataset and I'm trying to count only the clients with the value "lost" in the column (calculated measure) Lost. But the formula keeps returning all 92 costumers. Can someboy help me understand what am doing wrong?

You need to create Lost like a calculated column in you case

Lost = IF(sales_data_sample[inactive] = "inactive", "lost", if(sales_data_sample[AVG order per month] >= 0.33, "not lost", "lost"))

Sorry, forgot to mention that the [inactive] measure was also a calculated measure and not a calculated column.
Same for AVG order per Month.
So since all those measures are not calcualted column, I don't think your suggestion would work.
