DistinctCount shows 1 when it is 0

I have added a Card to my PowerBI report that shows how many distinct customers are matched, per Reason code. I have 8 lines for 4 customers. so with no filters the card shows 4, which is correct. If I filter on Reason=Material, the card shows 3, which is also correct. And when Reason=Process, the card shows one, which is also correct. If I exclude Material and Process from the filter, the card should show 0, but shows 1. Why??? And more importantly, how do I fix it?

/*CountOfMatched = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Customer])+0*/

CountOfMatched for Reason Material = 3 (correct)
CountOfMatched for Process = 1 (correct)
CountOfMatched for none of them = 0 but the visual shows 1

Hi @Cadenze ,

Please try to create a measure with below dax formula:

Count of Matched =
IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Table'[Reason] ), DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Customer] ), 0 )

Hi, I had the same issue when I was trying to use the data directly from Salesforce. I was wondering if there is a formula for Salesforce Data in this case? And it's filtered by Company name for example from the data source (Salesforce Reports). Thank you!
