Count unique values when another column has one value but not another value

Hi, I have a data set similar to below:

 

NameIncome TypeAmount
AlexInitial100
JohnInitial100
SamOngoing100
AlexInitial100
JohnOngoing100
SamOngoing100

 

I am trying to create a measure that counts the number of people that just have 'Initial' i.e. have initial but don't have ongoing. Therefore on the above, it would be 1 which would be Alex. 

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Alex

Measure = 
IF(
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Column]) = 1),
    CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Column]), Table1[Income Type] = "Initial"), BLANK()
)

Table1[Column] being a Calculated column = [Name] & [Income Type]

@tex628 ,

 

The solution of Tex is simple and great. In addtion, you can also create a calculate column [Flag]:

Flag = 
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Income Type] ),
        ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name] )
    ) = 1
        && CALCULATE (
            DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Name] ),
            FILTER (
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Name] ),
                'Table'[Income Type] = "Initial"
            )
        ) = 1,
    1,
    0
)

Then create a measure which may also achieve the result:

Count = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Name]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Flag] = 1))
