Hi NikhilChenna ,
Sorry for the confusion.

The fact is that I want the same output. I can have the table in 2 different types as I shown.
Let's take the second. 
For Subject 1 I want the output 1 cause it needs to count only one name within the state 2 or 3. Only the first name ABC has the valid state for me . The rest of them have invalid states for me (not 2 or 3).


If we look into the C subject it has 4 names and there it need to count 2 because even if I have 1 name that appears 2 or multiple times with valid state (2 or 3), it need to count only 1 single time that name. So ABD-2 ABD-3 ABD-4 counts 1 time and PRO-2 counts 1 time so COUNT=2 (Out of 4 names, 3 have a valid state but one name with valid state that has the same value with another one with different or even same state need to count 1 not 2)

 

Hope it is more clear!

Hi Anonymous ,

If you are looking for a output like this below, then follow the below steps.

1. you have to make a calculated column in the table , using the below dax.

Check = IF('Table (2)'[State]=2 || 'Table (2)'[State]=3,1,0)
 
2. After that you have to create a new table from your table, go to report view, click on the modelling tab from the above ribbion, click on the new table icon. after that use the below dax to create a summarize table.
 
Table 2 =
SUMMARIZE(
    'Table (2)',
    'Table (2)'[Subject],'Table (2)'[Name],
    "MAX check",MAX('Table (2)'[Check])
)
 
Which will give you the output as shown in the above screen shot.

        As I told you earlier, the ouput column counts within a subject, how many name in the states of 2 or 3 are. Example : I have subject A with ABC-1 ABC-2 ABC-3 FEG-2 FEG-3 PRO-3 PRO-5. THe output column will count ABC one time, FEG one time & PRo 1 time, some the ouput will be 3 . Explenation is: It counts ABC one time cause even there are 2 ABC in my valid states, because it is the same name I want only 1 count not 2., same fot the others.
