COUNTX distinct values without CALCULATE

Hello,

 

Any thoughts on how to convert the statement below into a distinct count?    Here's the trick; it needs to be accomplished without using CALCULATE (due to a circular reference limitation).

 

The 2 tables do not have a key as they are not at the same grain (daily vs line level) and trying to avoid creating an intermediate table.

 

Customer Transaction Count = COUNTX(FILTER(SalesLineData , DailySalesSummary[Date]=SalesLineData[Date], SalesLineData[TransactionNumber])

 

Thanks in advance for ideas.

@cdnjj, do you want to create a calculated column?

 

If yes, here is what you can try:

Customer Transaction Count =
COUNTROWS (
    GROUPBY (
        FILTER (
            SalesLineData,
            DailySalesSummary[Date] = SalesLineData[Date]
        ),
        SalesLineData[TransactionNumber]
    )
)

Hey,

 

It would be really helpful if you would provide sample data.

 

But my first idea would be

 

COUNTROWS(
  VALUES(SalesLineData[TransactionNumber])
)

Hope this helps

 

Regards

Tom
