How to calculate total count from a measure

[Hari01]

I created a calculated column to count number of sites in each product and its working

Sites Count = //Number of Sites in each product
VAR str = SELECTEDVALUE(product[Site Key])
VAR str_len = LEN(str)
RETURN 
    IF(str_len>1, ((str_len - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(str, "||", "")))/2 + 1),0)

Now I have to calculate total number of sites in all product.

All Product Site Count = //Total number of Sites in all products
VAR str = SELECTEDVALUE(product[Site Key])
VAR str_len = LEN(str)
RETURN 
    CALCULATE(((str_len - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(str, "||", "")))/2 + 1), REMOVEFILTERS())

But All product site count is not giving expected output
Sample data and expected site count columns are

Product key	Site key	Site Count
2	83	1
3	67||83	2
8	44||56||91||45||67||99	6
7		0
4	91||56||83	3

All product site count should return 12 for above sample data. 

someone please help here ?

Hi @Hari01 
Please refer top attached sample file with two proposed solutions

Site Count 1 = 
VAR String =
    CONCATENATEX ( 
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Site key] ),
        'Table'[Site key],
        "|"
    )
VAR Items = SUBSTITUTE ( String, "||", "|" )
VAR Length = PATHLENGTH ( Items )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( T1, "@SiteKey", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
RETURN
    IF ( 
        String <> BLANK ( ),
        COUNTROWS ( T2 )
    )

Site Count 2 = 
VAR String =
    CONCATENATEX ( 
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Site key] ),
        'Table'[Site key],
        "|"
    )
VAR Items = SUBSTITUTE ( String, "||", "|" )
VAR Length = PATHLENGTH ( Items )
VAR T1 = GENERATESERIES ( 1, Length, 1 )
VAR T2 = SELECTCOLUMNS ( T1, "@SiteKey", PATHITEM ( Items, [Value] ) )
RETURN
    IF ( 
        String <> BLANK ( ),
        COUNTROWS ( DISTINCT ( T2 ) )
    )

hi @Hari01 

Are you writing a measure for All Product Site Count? 

Try like:

All Product Site Count = 

SUMX(

    ALL(product[Site Key]),

    VAR str = [Site Key]

    VAR str_len = LEN(str)

    RETURN 

    IF(str_len>1, ((str_len - LEN(SUBSTITUTE(str, "||", "")))/2 + 1),0)

)

[Hari01]

yes, I'm trying to write a measure to sum all  values of Sites Count.
Sumx is not working. Got zero

hi @Hari01 

strangely enought, with your data

i get all count 12.

@Hari01 First, please vote for this idea: https://ideas.powerbi.com/ideas/idea/?ideaid=082203f1-594f-4ba7-ac87-bb91096c742e

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Hi @Hari01 

Shouldn't this be a distinct count? Seems to me 8 is more realistic than 12

[Hari01]

I don't want distinct count.

@Hari01 
Ok have you checked my solution with the sample file? I gave both options; normal count and distinct count.
