COUNT DISTINCT SHOWS WRONG GRAND TOTAL

Hey 

Hey My grand total is wrong when using distinct count, if the visualisation is a matrix, table or any. The grand totalt is wrong. my dax formel is 

User Distinct = DISTINCTCOUNT(table[UserId] )

There are many users who do different operations, one user can do a operation 4-5 times and etc.. but i want to have it distinct. But the sum when i filter it with a slicer or any other thing, it shows the row value correct, but the grand totalt is wrong! 

NEED HELP ASAP! 


thanx in advance,

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    In your scenario, the measure will evaluate who column [UserId] and count distinct values on Total row of the table visual, instead of sum each measure row values. 

     

    If you would like to place total of each measure value on Total row, you can modify the measure below: 

    User Distinct = var t=SUMMARIZE('Table5','Table5'[Operation],"UserDistinct",DISTINCTCOUNT(Table5[UserID] ))
    return
    SUMX(t,[UserDistinct])

     

     

    Best Regards,

      Hi There!

       

      I have to do the same but filter it between two dates using slicers as my filters 

       

      for an e.g. count of distinct operations but for last week and previous last week and cannot apply the filter on the summarization though.

      Hi, how would a measure that calculates the % of the Total (Operation 1 = 25%, 5=12,5%) look like?

       

      Best regards,

      Hi v-qiuyu-msft ,
      If we include another column lets say 'Operation Category' then in the below query I have to replace the 'Operation' with 'Operation category' level table.
      So, instead for changing this query again & again, Is there anyway it can calculate the distinct count according to the columns('Operation' or 'Operation category') we use in the table & the Grand total row sum it accordingly ?

      User Distinct = var t=SUMMARIZE('Table5','Table5'[Operation],"UserDistinct",DISTINCTCOUNT(Table5[UserID] ))
      return
      SUMX(t,[UserDistinct])
