    In this scenario, since you want to calculate the distinct count within each State, you should have your calculation group on "State". Please use formula like:

     

    Number of Clubs:=CALCULATE(DISNTICTCOUNT('MY TABLE'[CLUB_NUMBER]),ALLEXCEPT('MY TABLE','MY TABLE'[State]))

Hi hksl

 

There is no option to rename the table headers.

 

In your case, You should create a neW measure, which will allow you to customize your header.

 

Number of Clubs:=DISNTICTCOUNT('MY TABLE'[CLUB_NUMBER])

Thank you, but   Number of Clubs:=DISNTICTCOUNT('MY TABLE'[CLUB_NUMBER])   does not work.

It seems to produce sum of club numbers ?

 

State                 Count of CLUB_NUMBER            Number of Clubs

CA                           933                                              2733

CO                             41                                              2733

FL                                 8                                             2733

. . .                             . . .                                                . . .

    Hi hksl

     

    You have applied my formula in calculated column but the formula is for the measure calculation. This is the reason you are getting unexpected results. Practically, Both your distinct count steps and my DAX formula are same aggregations and it must show the same result. I tried and tested.
