Dears,
I encountered diffuculties in counting the quantity of customers based on their receipts. My goal is to calculate the quantity of old and new customers, who possess more than 1 receipt, two receipts and greater than 2 receipts. In addition, there is a column in my table, which divides my customers into old and new ones. Thus, I have rows with old and new ones.
I surfed the internet and unfortunately I was not able to find any solutions to handle this problem.
Therefore, the quantity of receipts was counted by this measurement:
Quantity of Receipt= DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Receipt])
Then, I calculated the quantity of customers:
Finally, I would like to make calculations, which show my the quantity of old and new customers which show me customers who have 1 receipt, 2 receipts and greater than 2 receipts:
Unfortunately, none of these measurement works. The result of my measurements:
Would you be so kind as to share with my any ideas and DAX measurements to handle this problem?
I would appreciate it if you could assist me in dealing with it.
I am looking forward to receiving feedback from you.

Hi @Anonymous
The problem with your measure is it's not calculating the number of receipts for each customer.
Quantity of Customers with greater than 2=
VAR QuantityOfReceipts= [Quantity of Receipt]
RETURN
calculate([Quantity of Customers],filter(Table,QuantityOfReceipts > 2))
The variable is calculated first and will give you the total number of receipts for all customers combined.
Here's a measure to get customers with greater than 2 receipts. Just change the filter condition in _Result to get your other measures.
Quantity of Customers with greater than 2 =
VAR _RecepitsPerCustomer =
ADDCOLUMNS(
VALUES('Table'[Customers]),
"@Receipts", [Quantity of Receipts]
)
VAR _Result =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(_RecepitsPerCustomer, [@Receipts] > 2)
)
RETURN
_Result

Hi PaulOlding, thank you for your assistence in solving my problem.
Would you be so kind as to explain me what @Receipts means in this Measurement (in addcolumns() function?
Quantity of Customers with greater than 2 = VAR _RecepitsPerCustomer = ADDCOLUMNS( VALUES('Table'[Customers]), "@Receipts", [Quantity of Receipts] ) VAR _Result = COUNTROWS( FILTER(_RecepitsPerCustomer, [@Receipts] > 2) ) RETURN _Result
I would appreciate it if you could explain me in this context.
Thank you!
Hi PaulOlding,
thank you very much for your aid and advice! It works properly!
Hi,
I think something like this should work:

Hi Valtterin,
Thank you for your idea, but unfortunately it does not work. I obtained 0 results for my all clients. I would like to add that there is a table with old and new clients.
The quantitiy of these clients was measured by
