Countifs in powerbi?

Here is my formula I use in excel to count the number of unique vendors with criteria language pair and subject matter.   =COUNTIFS(DataDump1!$C$2:$C$139526,A2,DataDump1!$E$2:$E$139526,B2)   Here...

    This is what I was looking for:

     

    =
    CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
    FILTER (
    DataDump1,
    DataDump1[languagePair] = EARLIER ( DataDump1[LanguagePair] )
    ),
    FILTER (
    DataDump1,
    DataDump1[Subject Matter] = EARLIER ( DataDump1[Subject Matter] )
    )
    )

Try this formula

 

Formula =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( DataDump1, DataDump1[language pair], DataDump1[subject matter] )
)

Thank you for your response, however this didn't return the correct result.

 

I am looking for something like this, if row 1 has the vendor name of A+ Global Solutions and the language pair is chinese (China) -> English (United States) and the subject matter is IP- Non-Patent. Then I am looking for a formula to look through all the data and return how many times that combination is present in the data. 

 

Can you provide a formula to calculate that? I am new to DAX and would really appreciate it!

    Try adding subject matter in above formula

     

    Formula =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( DataDump1 ),
    ALLEXCEPT (
        DataDump1,
        DataDump1[language pair],
        DataDump1[vendor name],
        DataDump1[subject matter]
    )
)

      I was curious about this issue, tried Zubair_Muhammad solution but didn't get it to work for me. My DAX knowledge is limited to testing and reading posts on this forum and I'm sure there may be a better solution but this would work: I created a calculated column that combines all 3 column values into 1:

       

      Combined = Sheet1[Purchase Order Vendor] & Sheet1[Language Pair] & Sheet1[Subject Matter]

       

      ...then created a simple measure:

      UniqueCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[Combined])

       

      Again, I'm sure there may be a completely single DAX formula that can do this but this worked for me.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Did Zubair_Muhammad's solution work? You need to use it in a visual?

     

    Best Regards,

      No, it didn't work for me. I was able to find a different solution. Thanks for looking into this for me! I really appreciate.
