Count Disctint in DAX boolean values

[Vanessa250919]

Hello All, 

I try to make a new DAX function in my dataset :

# Answered Queue + Rona =

CALCULATE (

COUNTA ( 'FACT Interaction Segment'[Call ID] ),

'FACT Interaction Segment'[Rona Answered] = TRUE ()

)

+ CALCULATE (

COUNTA ( 'FACT Interaction Segment'[Call ID] ),

'FACT Interaction Segment'[Queue Answered] = TRUE ()

)

But I need a Distinct count return for [Call ID], is it possible ? 

Thanks

Hi @Vanessa250919 ,

It's ok to count boolean values. Try this measure.

Measure = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[id]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[boolean]=TRUE()))

 

In your formula you have missed the ")" after "true())".

Best Regards,

Jay

One way is to convert the boolean value to an integer:

INT(TRUE()) returns a value of 1 If true or blank if false. So use this expression in measure (instead of TRUE()) and then you can simply sum the values.

Hello,

Did you try using DISTINCTCOUNT instead of COUNTA?

[Vanessa250919]

Yes but it's not Ok with true or false values . 

[PC2790]

Is [CallID] of type Boolean?

Can you please share your sample data please?

[Vanessa250919]

Nope, I need number of disctinct call ID when Rona answered is TRUE or FALSE

Then it should work, as you are trying to apply Count operation on CallID which is a non- boolean column, it won't have any issue.

See a small example I have done:

Two measures I created:

Count with COUNTA = CALCULATE(COUNTA('Table'[CallID]), FILTER('Table','Table'[Roma Answered]= TRUE()))

Outcome- 5

Count with DistinctCount = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[CallID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Roma Answered] = TRUE()))

Outcome-4

You can further do the required customizations

Thanks for your help, I try to add my other values like in bellow but it doent"s work

I think I can make to calculate with boolean values in powerBI, always one issue message .
