Color Saturation/ Count

Hi,

 

Need your kind help again,

 

I have the following table

Country   Name

Sudan       X

Sudan       Y

Sudan       Z

Nigeria     (null)

 

When I use a map with color saturation count of name (Distinct), and I hover over Nigeria, it is showing me the count = 1 instead of 0. Any advise?

 

Thanks,

Hi @abukapsoun,

 

DISTINCTCOUNT function counts the number of different cells in a column of numbers, it will not ignore the null values. In your scenario, you can try to create a measure:

 

Measure 2 = var CountIgnoreBlank=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Name]),FILTER('Table1','Table1'[Name]<>BLANK()))
return
IF(CountIgnoreBlank=BLANK(),0,CountIgnoreBlank)

 

Then place this measure to Color Saturation box.
