Dax Measure for Counting Order Numbers with Multiple Invoice Numbers

Is there a way to calculate within a table the number of invoices associated with a order number?

I needed to keep the Order Number column in my visual.

 

I just completed getting my visual to work as designed by using power query.

I made a duplicate of my table, left just the order_number and invoice_number columns. Did a grouping on order_number distinct count on invoice_number.  Merged these results to my oringial table.  Then finally added the newly created field into my visual and deselected 'sum'.

 

Thanks for the aid.  I'm sure a better way could be done.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Below is my table visual.  As you can see, I have the same order number and two invoice numbers.  I would like the field 'Count of invoice_number - copy' to read 2, as I have one order number with two invoices.

@IamTDR create a measure

 

on table visual, drop order number column and following measure, and you will get count.

 

# of Invoices = COUNT( Table[Invoice Number] )

@IamTDR yes it should be easy assuming each invoice has order number, you can drop order number and invoice in table visual and change aggreation method of invoice number to count by clicking the arrow button next to it.
