Filter a Distinctcount function by another measure

Hello,

 

i need a measure that calculated the distinct count of Items, but only for the months January and December. So it should just distinct count the items where the Measure i already wrote is not blank

The measure to sum the quantity of Jan&Dec 

 

VAR SumofQuantity_Jan_Dec =
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE(v_DimCountrySoldTo[CountryEN]) = "Austria",
    CALCULATE(
        [GlobalDeliveredQuantity new],
        v_DimDate[MonthNumber] in {1,2,12}
    ),
    CALCULATE(
        [GlobalDeliveredQuantity new],
        v_DimDate[MonthNumber] in {1,12}
    )
)
 
Help please!

Distinct count Jan Dec =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Column] ),
    FILTER ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Column] ), NOT ISBLANK ( [My Measure] ) )
)

If column is enough to correctly identify the row and produce the value for the measure then this should work. If additional columns are needed in the filter context then you can replace VALUES with a SUMMARIZE statement including all necessary rows.

Try

Distinct count Jan Dec =
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( v_DimCountrySoldTo[CountryEN] ) = "Austria",
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Column] ),
        v_DimDate[MonthNumber] IN { 1, 2, 12 }
    ),
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Column] ),
        v_DimDate[MonthNumber] IN { 1, 12 }
    )
)

this doesn´t work because the item Table is not connected to the Date table, i need to filter it by the measure but i don´t know how

 

Distinct count Jan Dec =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Column] ),
    FILTER ( VALUES ( 'Table'[Column] ), NOT ISBLANK ( [My Measure] ) )
)

If column is enough to correctly identify the row and produce the value for the measure then this should work. If additional columns are needed in the filter context then you can replace VALUES with a SUMMARIZE statement including all necessary rows.
