    Hi Mister_T ,

    Create a second measure:

     

    #Result = 
IF(HASONEVALUE('Sales'[Reseller]),
[COUNT_Reseller_Lost],
SUMX(VALUES('Sales'[Reseller]), [COUNT_Reseller_Lost])
)

Hi amitchandak,

 

Thank you very much!

Unfortunately, your DAX formula returns
"The syntax for '&&' is incorrect. (DAX(CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),FILTER ('Sales' ,coalesce(CALCULATE(Max('Sales'[Deal Closed]) , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] )), false()) =True(),&& 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()))))."

 

Deleting the ',' after "TRUE ()",

 

COUNT_Reseller_Lost_NEW = 
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ),
    FILTER ('Sales' ,
        COALESCE (
            CALCULATE(
                Max('Sales'[Deal Closed]) ,
                ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] )
                ),
            FALSE ()
            )
        =TRUE ()
        && 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE ()
        )
    )

 


lets the formula pass as measure, but as soon as I want to use it in a vizual, I get the error message


Any alternative to 'MAX' when it cannot work with BOOLEAN?

Thanks a lot!

Mister_T , Try like

COUNT_Reseller_Lost_NEW = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Sales'[Deal ID] ), FILTER ('Sales' , COALESCE ( CALCULATE( Count('Sales'[Deal Closed]), 'Sales'[Deal Closed] = TRue() , ALLEXCEPT ( 'Sales', 'Sales'[Deal ID] ) ), 0 ) <>0 && 'Sales'[Deal Won] = FALSE () ) )

    Thank you, amitchandak! Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Unfortunatelly, here again, I get an error message, when using this measure as value for a table (or any other) visual:


    "The function COUNT cannot work with values of type Boolean."

     

    Best regards,
