Count Table Distinct

Hello, 

I'm trying my journey with dax and i step into issue which i can't find a solution...  
I have table with CityLocation and Value and want count number of CityLocation where value is > 0.  

For below result it should be 2.  

 

I can get eaisly count of CityLocation where Value is >0 however how i can count unique City ?

I can assume from your code that Value is a measure. In this case please try

COUNT =
COUNTROWS (
    DISTINCT (
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            FILTER ( VALUES ( 'Table'[CITYLOCATION] ), [VALUE] > 0 ),
            "City", LEFT ( 'Table'[CITYLOCATION], LEN ( 'Table'[CITYLOCATION] ) - 1 )
        )
    )
)

Hi @joshua3m 
Please try

Count =
CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[CityLocation] ), 'Table'[Value] > 0 )

Hi Tamerj , 

Would this not calculate distinct only for CityLocation where i want actually look into City and not City Location combine ?   

I was trying to do as below: 

 

 

COUNT: 
COUNTROWS( 
 FILTER(
   ADDCOLUMNS( 
          VALUES(LEFT([CITYLOCATION],LEN[CITYLOCATION]-1), 
             "STOCK" , ([VALUE]) 
              ), 
             [STOCK] >0
        )
)
