Unique count on same table subgroup data

I am new to Power BI DAX coding. I’m trying to figure out how to create a measure to unique count

1. How many ProductID counts that have at least 1 comment
2. How many  ProductID counts that don't have any comment?

Any tips or guidance it would be very much appreciated.

The data look something like this:

 

DeptIDProductIDInspectorIDInspectorComments
1A10110Needs improvement 
1A10120null
1A10130Waiting for solution from engineers
2B20110null
2B20115null
2B20130null
2B20140null
2B2111Ref. to factory
2B2112Waiting for approval
2B2113Waiting for parts
2B2114Waiting for customer response
3C3015No respone from customer
3C3025Wrong parts
3C3036Waiting for parts
3C3047null


Expect result

DeptIDProductIDInspectorComments 
1A101Yes 
2B201No 
2B211Yes 
3C301Yes 
3C302Yes 
3C303Yes 
3C304No 


Unique ProductIDs count have at least 1 comments : 5
Unique ProductIDs count that do not have any comments at all : 2

Thanks in advance.

@ab2022@tamerj1 beat me to the punch but posting my very similar solution here since I took the time to create it. PBIX is attached below sig.

 

YesNo = IF(COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[InspectorComments] <> BLANK())) + 0 > 0,"Yes","No")

Unique ProductIDs with Comments = COUNTROWS(FILTER(SUMMARIZE('Table',[DeptID],[ProductID],"__YesNo",[YesNo]),[__YesNo] = "Yes")) + 0

Unique ProductIDs without Comments = COUNTROWS(FILTER(SUMMARIZE('Table',[DeptID],[ProductID],"__YesNo",[YesNo]),[__YesNo] = "No")) + 0

Hi @ab2022 

Please try  

Measure

InspectorComments =
IF ( ISEMPTY ( VALUES ( 'Table'[InspectorComments] ) ), "No", "Yes" )

Measure

Count Yes =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[DeptID], 'Table'[ProductID] ),
    IF ( [InspectorComments] = "Yes", 1 )
)

Measure

Count No =
SUMX (
    SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[DeptID], 'Table'[ProductID] ),
    IF ( [InspectorComments] = "No", 1 )
)

 

Hi Greg_Deckler,

Thank you so much for your solution🙂. It took me couple days to search on Internet, but  could not figure it out.
