Hi,

The following measure gives the correct values in power bi but when i am trying to do excel export the total is coming wrong. could any one please modify the below measure.

 

Measure =
VAR Shortlist =
FILTER(
SUMMARIZE(
'Table',
'Table'[ num ],
"Total", CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sales[Number]),Sales[Status]="Closed")
),
[Total] > 4

      Hi amitchandak,

      in my above measure there is no scenerio of sum like recalculating the grand total. could you please modify my above measure to give correct totals in both power bi and excel.

       

      Thank you.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    "Total", CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sales[Number]),Sales[Status]="Closed")


    The above formula, what do you want to calculate? DISTINCTCOUNT counts the number of distinct values in a column. If you want to count the number of occurrences of different numbers, you can use the following formula.

    "Total",CALCULATE(COUNT(Sales[Number]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Sales,Sales[Number]),[Status]="Closed"))


    What kind of visual is your measure placed in, and are there other columns in it? Because if there are other columns, the result will be different.
