Count first occurance

Hi,

I have a data requirement to count only the first occurance of an event.

So if a Sales rep contacts a company, only the first contact is to be counted.

 

Sales RepCompanyMonth
ABCCompany AJan
ABSCompany BJan
ABCCompany AFeb

 

In this example, the companies the sales rep has contacted is 2. (Company A and Company B)

When I drag in month, I get 2 for Jan, 1 for Feb. which is correct but 

I dont need to count the company if it has been counted before. 

 

thanks

Hi,

 

Try this,

Calculate(DistinctCount(Table[Company]), Sales, [#SalesContact] > 0,Removefilters(ales, [#Month] )

Hi, I have used Calculate(DistinctCount(Table[Company]), Filter(Sales, [#SalesContact] > 0) this works without the month field. When I use the month field is when the company is counted for each month.

Hi @PBIfanatic ,

 

Can you create a measure like this and see if it is working?

Total =
VAR firstcompany = FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Company], MIN('Table'[Company]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'), 'Table'[Company]=firstcompany)

Hi thanks for your reply @Kishore_Kadhir 

Tried it but it didnt work, values came as 1 for each month.

@PBIfanatic 

 

 

Step 1 = CALCULATE(min('Table'[Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Ccompany],'Table'[Sales Rep]))
 
Final Sol = if('Table'[Step 1]='Table'[Date],1,0)

So above is not counting when ABC contacted Company A for the second time

 

I have also made one video on the ALLEXCEPT concept here https://youtu.be/WCMwCj29TTU
