I am using below measures. but, count not coming properly.

I just want to exclude employee remarks who has not in like "*GOOD*"

EMPSTATUS = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('EMP QUERY'[EMP_NUMBER]),NOT ('EMP QUERY'[EMP_REMARKS] IN {"*GOOD*"}))

can any one help, what is the correct syntac in above measures.

@saivina2920 , you might want to try

EMPSTATUS =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'EMP QUERY'[EMP_NUMBER] ),
    NOT ( CONTAINSSTRING ( 'EMP QUERY'[EMP_REMARKS], "GOOD" ) )
)

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
