Power BI count email addresses where some are duplicate and some are blank

Hi all,

It would be awesome if I could get some help with this as I'm quite new to Power BI. I'm trying to count email addresses if they are not blank/null but I don't know how to get the correct result.
Example:

number      email
1234123@email.com
5678123@email.com
1213123@email.com
1415null
1617xyz@email.com


My measure is:

Count Email = COUNTX (table1[email])
This results in a total of 2 email addresses but I need it to be 4. I'm not sure why this is so hard for me haha. Any help is greatly appreciated if possible. Thanks!

Hi @GettingStarted try: 

Count non blank rrows= 
  CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS(Sheet19),
        Sheet19[   email]<>"null"
    )
 
Adjust Sheet 19 to your table name. I hope this help

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.
It still doesn't seem to be working as it's only counting the unique value.

123@email.com
123@email.com
123@email.com

 

Total Emails = CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS(table),
        table[email] <>"null"
    )

returns a value of 1 instead of 3. It's weird so maybe there is something I'm overlooking...

Hi @GettingStarted 
Even the COUNTX approach should work. Definitely there is is something that is being overlooked.
