Distinct Count one column with Contained Strings from another

[JCuoco]

Team,

I would like to do a distinct count on a column (Total Encounters) but only count the encounters that also have the value of "No Show" in a separate column 

Thanks,

James

Hi @JCuoco 

You need to use Calculation with filter:

If you want to filter the table to show the rows which have "No Show" in a seperate column:

Measure = 
Calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(table[Total Encounters]),Filter(table,table[separate column]="No Show"))

If "No Show" is part of the values of data in seperate column, use @ValtteriN solution.

Hi,

Here is one way to do this:

Dax:

Apples =

calculate(COUNT(Applecount[AppleCount]),ALL(Applecount)) //Calculate all fruits

-

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Applecount[AppleCount]),

iserror(SEARCH("Apple",Applecount[AppleCount])),ALL(Applecount[AppleCount])) //calculate NOT apples


End result:

I hope this helps and if it does consider accepting this as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!
