DAX equivalent of sql (Count excluding some filters)

Hi Community

What would be the DAX equivalent of the following SQL expression?

SELECT count(distinct userid)
FROM [dbo].[Table]
where Customer = 'C1'

 

The context is as follows:

  • Is a measure in a Power BI report
  • The where clause is a report filter
  • I want to ignore all page filters

For example

Customer UserId  LogonDate

C1             User1  1/1/19

C1             User1  1/2/19

C1             User2  1/1/19

C1             User3  1/1/19

C2             User1  1/1/19

C2             User2  1/1/19

 

I want to get as a result 3 independent of the filter on the LogonDate field (page filter)

Thanks in advance for your help

@Anonymous ,

 

Create a measure using DAX below then drag the measure to a card visual:

 

Count = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[LogonDate]), FILTER(ALL(Table1), Table1[UserId] = "User1"))
