Count unique days when days have multiple entries

[Anonymous]

I have daily sales data, and I want to count how many days a given sales person made a sale. However, they could make two sales on a given day, and will therefore have two lines. As a for instance, if someone makes a single sale on each day of March, but on March 31 makes two sales, my function is returning 32. I'm currently using a calculate/countrows function structure, but is there a way to only count the unique values when sales occur? Obviously there aren't 32 days in March, but I don't want to use a min/max function because I only want to give credit for the days with actual activity. Does this make sense? Any help is appreciated.

This measure works with the below data set. It will work with a date table too:

Unique Date Count =

CALCULATE(

DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[Date]),

FILTER(Sheet1,

Sheet1[SaleAmount]<>0

)

)

Date	SaleAmount
3/1/2021	100
3/2/2021	200
3/3/2021	300
3/4/2021	400
3/5/2021	500
3/6/2021	600
3/7/2021	700
3/8/2021	800
3/9/2021	900
3/10/2021	1000
3/11/2021	1100
3/12/2021	1200
3/13/2021	1300
3/14/2021	1400
3/15/2021	1500
3/16/2021	1600
3/17/2021	1700
3/18/2021	1800
3/19/2021	1900
3/20/2021	2000
3/21/2021	2100
3/22/2021	2200
3/23/2021	2300
3/24/2021	2400
3/25/2021	2500
3/26/2021	2600
3/27/2021	2700
3/28/2021	2800
3/29/2021	2900
3/30/2021	3000
3/31/2021	3100
3/31/2021	3200

Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!

Hi,

Does this measure work?

=COUNTROWS(Filter(values(Calendar[date]),[total sale]>0))

I couldn't quite get this to work with my particular dataset, but I know how tricky it is when you don't have the actual info to reference. I really appreciate the response and will be experimenting with this formula to see where I can leverage the logic. Thanks again!
