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.

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
