    This happens when the thing you are counting is in multiple bucketes you are splitting it by.

    The count by category is correct and the count in total is correct but the individual counts do not sum to the total becuase of the one item in two categories.  So that one gets counted once in each category and once in the total.

    Instead of doing DISTINCTCOUNT can you just use COUNTROWS to count the outages?
