    Are you using Table visual? If so, change it to Matrix visual.

     

    Put [Visit Num] into Row field. Add measure DISTINCTCOUNT([Visit Num]) as value field.

      android1,

       

       

      Did you add a calculated column or a measure?

       

      If you create a calculated column, you summarize the count as sum.

      If it is a measure, you will set "Don't summarize" for the Visit Number.

        Using a Measure as I'm in Direct Query.

         

        Think I have it right but not doing what I need. See how Count is summing VisitNum twice, e.g 240035 is a count of 2 as it appears in Visit Num twice. Only need to sum it once.
