Adding rowcount from 2 different tables doesn't match when add manually

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?
