DAX Help - Excluding Some Filters on the Page

Hello Community - 

 

TLDR; I am looking for a DAX measure that will calculate the total distinct count of companies in a column, while ignoring certain slicers on the page.

 

I am creating a dynamic text title that says something like "Company X ranks 13 out of 331 companies in Premium Written during the year." I am looking for a DAX formula that can help me count the total number of companies (331) for the year selected. The page has a Year slicer and a Company Name slicer. Therefore, the measure would need to ignore the Company Name slicer, but evaluate the Year selected. 

So far, I have this, but it gives me the total count for all years, regardless of the Year selected:

Loss Line Chart Title =
IF (
ISFILTERED('Company DIM'[Company Name]),
CONCATENATEX ( VALUES ('Company DIM'[Company Name] ), 'Company DIM'[Company Name], ", " ) & " ranks " & [RANK Loss Ratio] & " out of " & [PC Counts] & " in Loss Ratio",
"All selected companies"
)
 
The measure for the counts is this:
PC Counts = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('Data FACT'[PC]), ALLEXCEPT( 'Data FACT', 'Data FACT'[PC] ))
 
Thanks!
Chris

@CMajka8 , use all, allselected, removefilters

 

PC Counts = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('Data FACT'[PC]), all( 'Data FACT'))

 

or

PC Counts = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('Data FACT'[PC]), allselecetd( 'Data FACT'))

I think I've solved it - thanks for you help. 

PC Counts = CALCULATE( COUNT('Data FACT'[PC]), ALL( 'Company DIM'[Company Name]))
 
This gets me the correct total count based on the year selected and doesn't consider the Company Name slicer.

Thank you. However, that appears to only give me a count of 1, based on the selction made in the Company Name slicer. I want to ignore that selection and get a total count of companies.
