Hi Gents,
I would like to count distinct values based on the combination of multiple columns.(In sample Location+Item+Status) I added my table as data model to count distinct values but it does not give correct results. I know how to distinct count using helper column or excel function like =IF(COUNTIFS($C$2:C2,C2,$B$2:B2,B2)>1,0,1)but is there any way to do it in power pivot ? as calculated column or measure? Thanks for your help and comments.
Location | Item | Status | Distinct Count |
Kitchen | Plates | Moved | 1 |
Kitchen | Spoons | Stayed | 1 |
Saloon | TV | Moved | 1 |
Saloon | Chair | Moved | 2 |
Saloon | Chair | Moved | 2 |
Bathroom | Mirror | Stayed | 1 |
hi @Burak83_
This code does it.
Distinct Count 2 =
VAR varItems = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Item])
VAR varLocation = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Location])
VAR varStatus = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Status])
VAR varFilteredTable =
CALCULATETABLE(
'Table',
'Table'[Item] = varItems
&& 'Table'[Location] = varLocation
&& 'Table'[Status] = varStatus
)
VAR Result = COUNTROWS(varFilteredTable)
RETURN
Result

MCSA: BI ReportingHi Edhans,
Thanks for the solution. However, since I am using powerpivot it does not support selectedvalue. Is there any other equivalent formula that I can use? like IF(HASONEVALUE(<columnName>), VALUES(<columnName>), <alternateResult>)
Yes. Just use this instead of SELECTEDVALUE() in PowerPivot. It gives the same results.
IF ( HASONEVALUE( <columnName> ), VALUES( <columnName> ), <alternateResult> )
The first one would be:
IF ( HASONEVALUE( Table[Item] ), VALUES( Table[Item] ) )
Note that SELECTEDVALUE is coming to PowerPivot. See New DAX Functions in Excel Data Models and Power Pivot (office.com)
