Distinctcount based on values in another column of same table – DAX for measure?

Hello Experts,

 

 I am new to Power BI. Could you please help me with below?  So below is my simplified table


resource_name  |  scan_date     | Scan_time     |   server selected |
   ABS                    06-06-2023     1:00:00 AM            SQL
   BCS                    06-06-2023     1:00:00 AM            SQL
   ADB                    08-06-2023     8:00:00 AM            Oracle

So here i need to find out the concurrency issue. As above you can see for resource_name "ABS" & "BCS" the scan_date, scan_time and server_selected are same. So in this scenario i have to highlight this and expecting a output like below either as measure or calculated column.


output required:
Scan_date     | Concurrent issue |
06-06-2023                2

So I have to take count of distinct resource_name which have all same details

 

Thanks in advance!!

Hi @Meraki_jeet your measure for distinctcount should be something like: DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[ColumnName]), so as I understand from your example it should be DISTINCTCOUNT(YourTableName[resource_name]), as resource_name is only column with 2 distinct value. i hope this help.

Hi @some_bih , Thanks alot! I was able to get the above requirement with below formula,

Calculate(Distinctcount(TableName[resource_name]), ALLEXPECT(TableName, TableName[scan_date], TableName[Scan_time], TableName[server selected]))
