hi, @tmac1954 

 

my above code only work without filling data 

because i ignore blank value in measure.

 

so try below code it help you 

it's  all  measure

 

incidents = 
DISTINCTCOUNT(accident[Accident #])

reported = 
CALCULATE(
     DISTINCTCOUNT(accident[Accident #]),
       accident[Reported / Unreported]="reported"
          )

unreported = 
CALCULATE(
      DISTINCTCOUNT(accident[Accident #]),
        accident[Reported / Unreported]="unreported"
          )

You need firstly fill down the Accident # column in Power Query:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-query/fill-values-column

 

then everything becomes apparent.

I had done the fill in the power query, sorry I didn't share that portion.

then try to plot a table visual with Reported / Unreported column and a measure like:

measure = DISTINCTCOUNT(tablename[Accident #])

hi, @tmac1954 

try below three measure 

 

incidents = COUNTX(
              FILTER(accident,
                accident[Accident #]<>BLANK()),
                accident[Accident #]
                   )

reported = 
COUNTX(
    FILTER(accident,
         accident[Accident #]<>BLANK()&& accident[Reported / Unreported]="reported"
           )
          ,accident[Accident #]
            )

unreported = 
COUNTX(
     FILTER(accident,
          accident[Accident #]<>BLANK()&& accident[Reported / Unreported]="unreported"
           ) 
       ,accident[Accident #]
       )

Thank you for the suggestions and examples.  I'm still receiving the incorrect values.  I used the "fill down" in the accident #'s in my power query and counting the disctinctcount for total accidents.  The issue is there is multiple row entries for accidents showing reported or unreported and it's counting one accident reported/unreported multipe times.  

I believe I'm not understanding the logic, sorry..  I appreciate your help very much!!  

I am still learning.

Reported =
COUNTX(
    FILTER(Accidents,
         [Accident #]<>BLANK()&& Accidents [Reported / Unreported]="reported"
           )
          ,Accidents[Accident #]
            )
 
Unreported =
COUNTX(
    FILTER(Accidents,
         [Accident #]<>BLANK()&& Accidents [Reported / Unreported]="unreported"
           )
          ,Accidents[Accident #]
            )
