Zubair_Muhammad getting Errors on both formulae:

 

DISTINCTCOUNT:
Semantic error: The function COUNT takes an argument that evaluates to numbers or dates and cannot work with Values of type strings.

DISTINCT COUNT WITH TOTALS:
Semantic error: Dependency error in the measure.

What could be wrong here? is it the format of the dates?
