    You can create the relationship in the Model pane of in Power BI (see image).

     

     

    If you are unable to create the relationship, then your measure will need to use the LOOKUPVALUE. Try this:

    Ordering Sites = 
    COUNTROWS(
        SUMMARIZE(
            ADDCOLUMNS(
                'Sales',
                "SiteID", LOOKUPVALUE(Terminal[SiteID], Terminal[TerminalID], Sales[TerminalID])
            ),
            [SiteID]
        )
    )

thorpyuk ,

 

Have you tried to count by the id for the site table ?

 

Something like:

 

DISTINCTCOUNT(ID_SITE_TABLE)

    Hi Camargos88, yes that just gives me the total number of distinct sites (56) against each product, but i want only the number of those sites that have ordered

        Hi Camargos, here's the layout of my sales table ( db_v_SalesProduct ) and my site table ( db_v_LookupSite ).

        They appear to link on the [TerminalID] field, but as i say, each site will have multiple terminals.

        How do i share a file with data?
