Measure for distinct count based on value from another column

I have the following dataset and I am trying to get the unique value from Name column where the value in Status column is 3 and value not 0 or 2. So the result should be only D.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

NameStatus
A0
B2
C3
D3
A2
C2
B0
A3

This measure expression will return a single Name that meets your conditions.  Since you are expecting a single value, I assume you will use a card visual.

 

Name Just Status 3 =
VAR summary =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Status',
        'Status'[Name],
        "@min"MIN ( 'Status'[Status] )
    )
RETURN
    MINX (
        FILTER (
            summary,
            [@min] = 3
        ),
        'Status'[Name]
    )

 

Regards,

Pat

In DAX, you First filter, then calculate. Inside the calculate function, the first parameter is executed last. So. 


=CALCULATE(distinctcount(tablename[name]),tablename[status]=3)

 

the filter is applied first (last parameter), then the calculation is executed
