    Hey EZV12 ,

     

    you have to combine the columns first and then count the distinct values.

    Try the following measure:

     

    Amount Distinct Customers = 
COUNTROWS (
    DISTINCT (
        UNION (
            VALUES ( 'FIRM ORDERS'[Customer Code] ),
            VALUES ( FORECAST[Customer Code] ),
            VALUES ( SALES[Customer Code] )
        )
    )
)

     

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
     
    Best regards
    Denis

Try:

Disctinct values =
VAR _Sales =
    VALUES ( 'Table'[SALES] )
VAR _FirmOrders =
    VALUES ( 'Table'[FIRM ORDERS] )
VAR _Forecast =
    VALUES ( 'Table'[FORECAST] )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( DISTINCT ( UNION ( _Sales, UNION ( _FirmOrders, _Forecast ) ) ) )
