Hello,
can someone please explain why I get different values with
CountxFunction =
var
Distinktcount= DISTINCTCOUNT(Material[Materialnumber])
return
countx(FILTER(Materialstable, Material [Positiontext]<>"Line5" && Material[StockLocation]<> "0020" && Materials[Transporttype]<> "888"),Distinktcount
)
vs.
CalculateFunction = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Material[Materialnumber]),Material[Positionstyptext]<>"Line5", Material[Stocklocation]<> "0020", Material[Transporttype]<> "888")
Shouldn't both method filter the same rows?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best.
@Applicable88 , Both are not the same. The first one count as distinctcount
Also, you need calculate when you use calculation
countx(FILTER(Materialstable, Material [Positiontext]<>"Line5" && Material[StockLocation]<> "0020" && Materials[Transporttype]<> "888"),calculate(Distinktcount)
)
This is only distinct count. Also you should use filter here
CalculateFunction = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Material[Materialnumber]),filter( Material, Material[Positionstyptext]<>"Line5" && Material[Transporttype]<> "888"), Filter( KAWE, KAWE[Stocklocation]<> "0020"))
