DISTINCTCOUNT with multiple Filters

Hello, I am trying to get the count of a column where the column value is equal to something. I have the below formula which works with 1 filter:

Windows =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'enterprise-attack'[Value.x_mitre_platforms] ),
FILTER('enterprise-attack',[Value.x_mitre_platforms]="Windows")
)

 

 

However, i want to filter on 3 options, i have tried the following but it doesnt appear to be working

Windows =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'enterprise-attack'[Value.x_mitre_platforms] ),
FILTER(
'enterprise-attack',[Value.x_mitre_platforms]="Windows",
'enterprise-attack',[Value.x_mitre_platforms]="Linux",
'enterprise-attack',[Value.x_mitre_platforms]="macOS"
)
)
 
How can i get it to do the above count?

@Anonymous , Try a measure like

 

CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'enterprise-attack'[Value.x_mitre_platforms] ),
FILTER(
'enterprise-attack',[Value.x_mitre_platforms] in {"Windows","Linux","macOS"}
)
)
