Wrong Total in Matrix while using Distinctcount
- 4 years ago
Hi, Anonymous ,
The reason is because your deduplicated number is 35 in course 1 and 33 in course 2. This is no problem, however in course 1 and in course 2 you have the same [Employee ID]; courses 3, 4, 5 is like this. But the total is the deduplicated sum of all the courses. If you wish to change the total, you need to write the following measure:
Unique Trained = VAR _dis = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Employee Data_Raw'[Employee ID] ), FILTER ( 'Employee Data_Raw', [Attended] = "Yes" ) ) RETURN IF ( ISINSCOPE ( [Programme] ), _dis, SUMX ( SUMMARIZE ( 'Employee Data_Raw', [Programme], [cource name], "1", _dis ), [1] ) )if you want to change the every row's value. may be should remove the cource name.

Hi Anonymous,
I believe the Unique Trained measure is returning the correct value.
I think row context is playing its part here.
I think this is what happens in the data set.
If you use that measure on a KPI card it will be showing the correct value of 59
But when the data is again filtered by a different course(Row Context) same user id will be counted twice for different courses.
To confirm this can you check whether a user has attended a course twice?
