Add together dont work

hi all,

 

i have a sum formula like:

 

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(CLIENT[PK]), FILTER(ALL(Calender), Calender[Date] <= MAX(Calender[Date]))

 

But something seems to be still strange:

 

 

DISTINCTCOUNT is 5 but in some cases the formula adds only 4. Sometimes it is right. Sometimes not.

 

Where can be the mistake?

    it is correct.

    if you have 5 distinct values Wednesday, it diesn't mean that it is new distinct 5 value as you values could repeated in the last period

    for example, below A will be counted as DISTINCT for Tuesday and Wednesday separately, but it will be counted as 1 DISTINCT value for Tuesday + Wednesday

    Tuesday A
    Tuesday B
    Wednesday A
    Wednesday C
    Wednesday D
