Hi all,
I'm finding it tricky to get the DistinctCount filtered or grouped by a Category.
For example, with the below sample data, the Distinctcount ("ID") for Monday is 3, Tuesday is 1, Wednesday is 2, Thursday is 4.
I want the measure to tell me the SUM of the above, so 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 10
| ID | Day of the Week |
| 1 | Monday |
| 1 | Monday |
| 2 | Monday |
| 3 | Monday |
| 2 | Tuesday |
| 2 | Tuesday |
| 2 | Wednesday |
| 3 | Wednesday |
| 3 | Thursday |
| 4 | Thursday |
| 5 | Thursday |
| 6 | Thursday |
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
Distinct count ID measure: =
SUMX (
VALUES ( Data[Day of the Week] ),
CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Data[ID] ) )
)
Thanks so much - that's what I was looking for!
