How can I count on a multiple text filter

I am trying to count the number of "Other" leaves.

 

This returns 0, as we can't count on a multiple filter, any ideas as to how to resolve in a measure?

 

Count of Other LWOP =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTA('Demographic'[Leave Type]),
    'Demographic'[Leave Type] IN {
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Care and Nurturing LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Maternity LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Maternity LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Parental LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Parental LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Relocation of Spouse LWOP",
        "Leave without Pay > Sick LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Educational LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Long-Term Disability LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Other LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Self Funded LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Suspension/Disciplinary Action LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Union Business LWOP"
    }
)

@TeamCanada26__ Perhaps try:

Measure = 
  VAR __Table = FILTER('Demographic',[Leave Type] IN {
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Care and Nurturing LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Maternity LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Maternity LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Parental LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Parental LWOP",
        "Family Related and Personal Leave without Pay > Relocation of Spouse LWOP",
        "Leave without Pay > Sick LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Educational LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Long-Term Disability LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Other LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Self Funded LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Suspension/Disciplinary Action LWOP",
        "Other Leave without Pay > Union Business LWOP"
      }
  )
RETURN
  COUNTAX(__Table,[Leave Type])
