Distinct Count Of Repeating ID

Good afternoon,

 

I've tried a couple of iterations of DAX to secure a distinct count of a repeating ID; however, I end up falling short, so I'm hoping some of my fellow Power BI users can help me out 🙂

 

The list of information is submissions to job orders and each submission is a row within the table; therefore, the job order ID appears multiple times; however, I am only wanting to count the job order ID once instead of counting every occurrence of the job order ID.

 

What this achieves is a reference point for how many open jobs have been opened within a specified time frame. 

 

 

I appreciate your time in advance, I love this community!

      Good evening,

       

      Yes, I have attempted DISTINCTCOUNT DAX; however, it did not provide the desired result. 

       

      I can provide some sample data & better context in the morning.
