DISTINCT COUNT AND GROUP BY
Hello:
I am trying to do GROUP BY in a DAX statement with DISTINCT COUNT.
When I use this formula I get this:
| Program | Count |
| Program_1 | 34 |
| Program_2 | 20 |
| Program_3 | 35 |
| Total | 89 |
But I would like this number to show up GROUP BY month:
| Month | Count |
| September | 78 |
| October | 88 |
| Total | 166 |
I want it to DISTINCT(COUNT) by Month and then SUM.
| Program | Count |
| Program_1 | 54 |
| Program_2 | 40 |
| Program_3 | 72 |
| Total | 166 |

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

According to your statement, I still have some questions. I am confused about DISTINCTCOUNT YTD = 89, however DISTINCTCOUNT MONTH = 166. Please share a sample file with me and show me a screenshot with the result you want.
