Calculate COUNT of DISTINCT values with GROUP BY

I have two tables, where I am trying to make the right CalculatedColumn in table 2:

 

Table 1:

IdDifference
11
11
21
21
32
32

Table 2 (DESIRED OUTPUT TABLE)

NumbersCalculatedColumn
12
21
30

 

I need the right code for my "CalculatedColumn" in table 2.

 

The goal is to count the DISTINCT "Difference" value from table 1 for EACH Id, and add these together.

- So, you can see in table 1, both ID 1 & ID 2 have the distinct value of 1 EACH.

- 1+1 = 2, therefore the calculated column should put 2 as value where "Numbers" column = 1.

 

 

My attempt:

Counter =
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
Table2[Numbers] = 1, CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Difference]),Table1[Difference] = 1),

Table2[Numbers] = 2, CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Difference]),Table1[Difference] = 2
)

.. and so on.

Hi @msuser48 ,

 

Please follow these steps:

(1) Create a new column

Counter =
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
'Table 2'[Number] = 1, CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table 1' [ID]),'Table 1' [Difference] = 1),
'Table 2'[Number] = 2, CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table 1' [ID]),'Table 1' [Difference] = 2),
'Table 2'[Number] = 3, CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table 1' [ID]),'Table 1' [Difference] = 3)
)

 

(2)Final output
