Hi, I've never understood how to do a distinct count with a group by on a visual that has many fields included the one I want to distinct count. I explain my problem with an example:
I have this visual
1 | 2 | 3 | 4
----------------
A | W | G | K
A | S | G | J
A | C | N | J
B | V | N | K
B | Q | N | J
B | L | I | K
B | D | O | K
I want to do a distinct count of 1 grouping by 3 on column 5 to have this result:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
----------------
A | W | G | K | 2
A | S | G | J | 2
A | C | N | J | 1
B | V | N | K | 2
B | Q | N | J | 2
B | L | I | K | 1
B | D | O | K | 1
I tried a formula like this:
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
----------------
A | W | G | K | 1
A | S | G | J | 1
A | C | N | J | 1
B | V | N | K | 1
B | Q | N | J | 1
B | L | I | K | 1
B | D | O | K | 1
What formula can I use with DISTINCTCOUNT? Thanks
