Hi All -
I have a card on my dashboard where I drop the ID field from Table A and it counts the rows.
If I create a measure to count Table A, I don't get the same number
Total Rows Table A = COUNT('Table A'[Id])
Why is this and how do I make sure these 2 numbers match so I know it's doing the same calculation?
Hi @Cathryn,
Maybe you are choosing COUNT(DISTINCT) for the Card. However your measure is just a COUNT().
By the way, where did you put this measure? Could you please share us some screenshots about your dashboard?
Thanks,
Xi Jin.
Hi,
Try one of the following measures:
=DISTINCTCOUNT('Table A'[Id])
=COUNTROWS('Table A'[Id])
Does any of these work?
