Calculations on a row returned by Distinct Count

Hoping there is a simple answer on this, but I couldn't find anything in the forums and been scratching my head on this one:   I have a matrix visual with the row field = 'Data'[Test Sceanrio] and ...

    Thanks again - got this syntactically correct now, but  it did not quite do what I wanted. Did a bit more digging and finally came up with the following which works fine.

     

    Volume Tested  =
    var test = CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Data[Test Case Description]),
    'Data'[Overall Status Description] in {"OK","Errors","In Process"}
    ) + 0
    var check1 = CONTAINS('Data',Data[Test Scenario],"Customer Survey")
    var check2 = CONTAINS('Data',Data[Test Scenario],"Customer Ad-hoc")
    return
    IF(check1 = true(),test - 9,IF(check2 = true(),test - 3,test))
     
     
    appreciate the help, it got me on the right path.

You can use a variable. For eg.

 

Volume Tested = 
var test = CALCULATE(
           DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Data[Test Case Description]),
           'Data'[Overall Status Description] in {"OK","Errors","In Process"}
           ) + 0
Return
IF(
   test = 50 //(say),
   test - 5,
   test
)

    Hi Aditya,

     

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Not sure if I am missing something and may have not been that clear in my explanation

     

    I want to test a different field value and decide the calculation based on its value.

    I tried the following but get an invalid token syntx error, line 8 offset 1 which is the table field Data[Test Case Description]

     

     
    Volume Tested =
    var test = CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Data[Test Case Description]),
    'Data'[Overall Status Description] in {"OK","Errors","In Process"}
    ) + 0
    Return
    IF(
    'Data[Test Case Description] = "Customer Survey",
    test - 5,
    test
    )

     

    If I try to move the IF clause before the Return  it flags an invalid token at line 6 offset 19  which is the condition of the IF statement 
     

    Volume Tested2 =
    var mycount1 = CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNTNOBLANK(Data[Test Case Description]),
    'Data'[Overall Status Description] in {"OK","Errors","In Process"}
    ) + 0
    var mycount2 = IF('Data[Test Case Description] = "Customer Survey",
    mycount1 - 5,
    mycount1
    )
    return
    CALCULATE(mycount2)
     
    Tried a bunch of variations on this but I am obviously  missing something fundamental.

      These are the syntax errors I see which correspond to the line numbers you mentioned

       

       

      Use 'Data' instead of 'Data
