Calculate Distinct count doesnt work for each row

Hi Guys

 

In the matrix table here below i have three  active users in the city Calgary. 

 

I use the following measures to calculate the total active users:

 

  1. TotaUserID = DISTINCTCOUNT('Fact user license New'[UserId])
  2. TotalActiveUsers = CALCULATE([TotaUserID],
    'Fact user license New'[Status] = "Active",
    NOT ISBLANK('Fact user license New'[UserId]))

 

The image below shown after each user name the same number of 3. This is not what the expected result must be.

The expected result mus be like:

Calgary                          3

    June                           1

     Tricia                         1

     yoichiroo                   1

 

Total                               3

 

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Many thanks!

 

Greets,

I think the isblank is overwriting the filter context on UserId coming from the visual, this should solve it:

TotalActiveUsers:=
CALCULATE([TotaUserID],
'Fact user license New'[Status] = "Active",
KEEPFILTERS(NOT ISBLANK('Fact user license New'[UserId]))
)
