Hello @Invesco ,

you have to provide space between double inverted commas. 

Your measure should look as below:

Distinct No Blanks = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(shc_shingrix_practice[crm_call_name]),FILTER(shc_shingrix_practice,shc_shingrix_practice[crm_call_name] <> " "))

As an alternative you can also try 

Distinct No Blanks = 
IF(ISBLANK(shc_shingrix_practice[crm_call_name]), BLANK(),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(shc_shingrix_practice[crm_call_name])))
