Can you guys help me with my problem?
I have 2 separate data/table with names.
The reason why we have to separate data is because they have a separate line of business.
However, these tables can have the same name input and can repeat.
What I want is a Card that would count all the names. However, the repeating names will only count as 1.
Here's a visualization of the data:
| Name 1 | Name 2 |
| Noah | Julia |
| Jerald | Monroe |
| August | Noah |
| Jerald | Christian |
| Christian | Kurt |
Given that, I want a card that would show as 7 since other names are repeating.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Please try below measure
measure3 =
VAR namelist =
VALUES ( 'Table'[Name1] )
var namelist2=VALUES('Table (2)'[Name2])
var newtable= distinct(UNION(namelist,namelist2))
return COUNTROWS(newtable)Hope this is helpful.

I am not sure why you deleted your latest update. Maybe it was by mistake.
Exclude "Noah"
Measure 2 =
VAR namelist =
CALCULATETABLE(VALUES ( 'Table1'[Name 1] ),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Name 1]<>"Noah"))
var namelist2=
CALCULATETABLE(VALUES('Table2'[Name 2]),FILTER(Table2,Table2[Name 2]<>"Noah"))
var newtable=
DISTINCT(UNION(namelist,namelist2))
return COUNTROWS(newtable)
