Count unique values

Hi,

 

I created this table:

vb.jpg

 

Rows: userName

Values: Count of message

Filter: specific message

Filter: Score B

 

I want to count the unique userNames (14).

 

I need the number (14) in another calculation.

 

Can't figure how to do it.

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

The table to which I am referring is the table in the data model that contains the data you are putting into the matrix.

 

I would suggest going through Microsoft's free guided learning for PowerBI if you are unfamiliar with the platform

You can use DISTINCTCOUNT against the table/column. You can also try COUNTROWS with SUMMARIZE, VALUES or DISTINCT

 

UniqueIDs = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[UserID])

UniqueIDs = COUNTROWS(
           SUMMARIZE(Table, Table[UserID]) //or VALUES(Table[UserID] or DISTINCT(Table[UserID]
)

Hope this helps

Thanks dedelman_cling

 

But I don't know how to do that.

 

Do I first have to create the table with a dax formula?

 

I made the table I showed earlier with the use of the matrix visualization, I dont think I can use DISTINCTCOUNT agaainst that, do I?

 

Thanks!

Hi @dedelman_clng,

 

I found a solution:

  • I copied the concerning table.
  • Filtered it
  • And used a COUNTROWS/DISTINCT combination to return the required result

Thanks! You led the way
