Hi,

I am not sure without seeing your data model, however, I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Please check the attached file and the below measure.

Licensee count (more than 20 advisers only) measure: =
VAR _newtable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        VALUES ( Data[Licensee] ),
        "@countadvisers", CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( Data[Advisers] ) ) )
    )
VAR _filternewtable =
    FILTER ( _newtable, [@countadvisers] > 20 )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( _filternewtable )
