Count of True / False

Hi, 

 

I am struggling trying to get count of true/false to work. I have tried several different methods. 

 

So I have e.g

 

User                          Acquired

a                               True

a                               True

a                               True

b                               True

b                               True

c                                True

d                                True

 

I want number of Trues to be 4 not 7. Any ideas on how to achieve this ? Appreciate any help !

 

Have tried


DistinctAcquiredCount = COUNTROWS(FILTER('tblZerion_C2', tblZerion_C2[acquired_status]='True'))

 

and

 

CALCULATE(
COUNTA('tblZerion_C2'[acquired_status]),
'tblZerion_C2'[acquired_status] IN { "True" }
)

Hi @marculos,

 

1. First make sure the data type of Acquired column is set to Text

2. Use the below measure to get the desired result.

 

    

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[User] ),
    FILTER (
        Table1,
        Table1[Acquired] = "True"
    )
)
