Distinct values of a column with filttering by another column

Hi all, 

 

I'm new to Power BI and DAX, so thanks in advance for helping. 

 

I have a table named RUM: 

emaildate
crash@test.com2020-08-26
crash@test.com2020-08-27
test@dummy.com2020-08-27
test@dummy.com2020-08-27

dummy@dotcom.com

2020-10-10

dummy@dotcom.com

2020-10-10

kim@dot.com

2020-01-01

 

I need to get number of distinct dates for each email address while at same time filttering some of emails. 

From the table above result should be:

emailunique dates
crash@test.com2
test@dummy.com1

 

I have following DAX but I'm not totally sure if it gives the right kind of result. 

 

unique dates = 

  CALCULATE(

           DISTINCTCOUNT(RUM[date]),

           FILTER(

              RUM,

              RUM[email] <> "dummy@dotcom.com"  &&

              RUM[email] <> "kim@dot.com"

           )

)

 

I know there are multiple ways to do this and would prefer the simplest. Any help and comments will be highly appreciated.

I do not see any issue with what you have in your calculation. Another way to do it is:

unique dates =
  COUNTROWS(
    DISTINCT(
      SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER(RUM,RUM[email]<>"dummy@dotcom.com" && RUM[email]<>"kim@dot.com"),
        "date",[date]
      )
    )
  )

@CAPSTALKER , Try like

unique dates =   CALCULATE(
           DISTINCTCOUNT(RUM[date]),
           FILTER(RUM, not( RUM[email] in {"dummy@dotcom.com"  , "kim@dot.com" })))
