How to summarize virtual table table

I am trying to summarize this virtual table (non base table) and of course I am getting error that the base table is expected. Can someone assist please.

 

DEFINE
    VAR C =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            DISTINCT (
                UNION (
                    DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ),
                    DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] )
                )
            ),
            "@COUNTRY",
                MINX (
                    FILTER (
                        ADDRESS,
                        ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" )
                    ),
                    RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
                )
        )

EVALUATE
SUMMARIZE (
    C,
    C[Country],
    "Count", COUNT ( C[ID] )
)

Hi @stribor45 

please try

DEFINE
    VAR C =
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            DISTINCT ( UNION ( DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ), DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] ) ) ),
            "@COUNTRY",
                MINX (
                    FILTER ( ADDRESS, ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" ) ),
                    RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
                )
        )

EVALUATE
GROUPBY ( C, [Country], "Count", SUMX ( CURRENTGROUP (), 1 ) )

I tried it and error received was COUNTRY specified in the GROUPBY function was not found in the table

Hi @stribor45 

 

Without sample data, this is just a guess:

EVALUATE
    SUMMARIZE(
        ADDCOLUMNS (
            DISTINCT (
                UNION (
                    DISTINCT ( 'A'[ID] ),
                    DISTINCT ( 'B'[ID] )
                )
            ),
            "@COUNTRY",
                MINX (
                    FILTER (
                        ADDRESS,
                        ADRESS[USERID] = FORMAT ( [ID], "0" )
                    ),
                    RELATED ( 'Flags'[Country] )
                )
        ),
        [Country],
        "Count", COUNT ( [ID] )
    )

 

If that doesn't help, could please supply sample data to work with?

I know without data is hard. I tried that before I posted as I was pretty sure it will work but kept complaining that it cant find [ID]
