Counting Text Values in Multiple Columns and Tables

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to count the total number of merchants in different tables.

 

Basicaly I tried the following formula 😕

 

Total = CALCULATE(COUNT('US Partners_AB'[Merchant])
 
But I don't know how to add column names from other tables to make this work ? (I get an error as soon as I try to use the measure with 2 or more column names)
 
Thanks,

Do separate counts with + in between

 

Total = COUNT(Table1[Merchant]) + COUNT(Table2[Merchant]) + COUNT(Table3[Merchant]) + ...

Hope this helps
