Count Months where total sales were greater than 0

[cdawidow]

Hi guys, simply I just want to calculate the count of months where total sales were > 0 for a customer.  I treid this but its not getting what I need.

FREQUENCY = COUNTAX(VALUES('DATE'[FiscalMonth]),[TOTAL SALES]>0)

Any help would be appreciated

I don't think it's possible to create a formula with this description. What would you like the measure to return if you select from the Date table, say, just one day? Or half a month? Or, say, any period of time that is not fully comprised of months? What would you like the measure to return? There are many, many formulas that will do the same thing when you've selected well shaped periods from your calendar but which will give you different answers when you select "badly" shaped ones.

Hi @cdawidow 

Try

FREQUENCY =
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( VALUES ( 'DATE'[FiscalMonth] ), [TOTAL SALES] > 0 ) )

or 

FREQUENCY =
SUMX ( VALUES ( 'DATE'[FiscalMonth] ), 1 * ( [TOTAL SALES] > 0 ) )
