Count Unique Rows using two columns
Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help
I have a model set up using direct query.
I have two column each have duplicates I want to be able to create a measure that would count only unique rows from BOTH columns
For Example:
Column A Column B
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
1 A
4 E
3 C
I was be expecting a total of 5 unique rows (what I want the measure to show).
As I have 2 rows that are Column A: 1 and Column B: A (should only count one row)
I also have two rows that are Column A: 3 and Column B: C (should only count one row)
I also have two other rows:
- 1st Row Column A: 4 and Column B: D
- 2nr Row Column A: 4 and Column B: E
- Both of these rows should be counted as they do not share the same values
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Boycie92

You could combine 2 columns into a new column:
Combine = COMBINEVALUES("_", Table[ColumnA], Table[ColumnB])
And then do a distinct count on the new column:
Unique rows = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Combine])

Hi Boycie92,
After test, the measure formula Zubair_Muhammad posted is right. You can create a card visual to show the result.
Please mark the right reply as answer, so more people will find workaround easily and clearly.
