Count measure not working for one field only

I'm working on creating a visual that states how many notices are resolved and how many notices are open. Each of these fields is a card, and use the measure below to pull the number of records with the Open or Resolved statuses:

 

Resolved Notices = calculate(count(tblNotice[noticeStatus]),tblNotice[noticeStatus]="Resolved")

Open Notices = calculate(count(tblNotice[noticeStatus]),tblNotice[noticeStatus]="Open")

 

For some reason, resolved notices updates correctly upon refreshing the data, but Open Notices stays at a value of one (which, it's worth noting, was never actually one to begin with as there were seven Open Notices when I originally loaded the table).

 

Any ideas why this could be acting up?

I think I've solved the issue actually--I had a brainstorm and realized the problem was a slicer I put in that was filtering on the resolution date. Oops!! And to think I spent an hour on this.

I have to guess that what you THINK says "Open" does not actually say "Open".  Maybe a space before/after?

 

Only other thing I can say is that I tend to use COUNTROWS(tblNotice), instead of COUNT( ) -- but I don't *think* that makes any difference.

 

 

Thanks for your reply scottsen,

 

Not sure if this would change anything but I've noticed now that if I set a report level filer, the filter box does seem to acknowledge that there are 8 open notices. However the visual still reads "1". Does that make any difference?

 

I'm going to try playing with leading/trailing spaces now and see if that might have anything to do with it.

In your table, you could add a calculated column that is just   IsOpen = tblNotice[noticeStatus] = "Open"  and make sure you are getting a "TRUE" where you expect?

It's returning "true" for all values I expected 😕
