Trying to get a distinct count of category per year, but only where the cumulative value up to the end of the year is NOT zero. See data below.
e.g the distinct count of Category at the end of 2013 is 2 (Category A and C), 1 for end 2014 (Category C) and 2 for end 2015 (Category C and D)
Have tried CALCULATE with FILTER but to no avail. Any help appreciated!
Thanks!
| Date | Value | Category |
| 01/02/2013 | 1000 | A |
| 01/02/2013 | 50 | C |
| 01/06/2013 | -500 | A |
| 01/09/2013 | -200 | A |
| 01/11/2013 | -200 | A |
| 01/02/2014 | 15 | C |
| 01/06/2014 | -100 | A |
| 01/06/2015 | 50 | B |
| 01/09/2015 | 25 | B |
| 01/09/2015 | 50 | D |
| 01/12/2015 | -75 | B |
| 01/12/2015 | 100 | D |
Modify with this
create a column year = YEAR(Sheet1[Date]) create measures Measure = CALCULATE(MAX(Sheet1[Date]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Category]),Sheet1[year]=MAX(Sheet1[year]))) Measure 2 = CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Category]),Sheet1[Date]<=MAX(Sheet1[Date])&&Sheet1[Date]<=[Measure])) Measure 3 = SUMX(FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Category]),Sheet1[year]=MAX(Sheet1[year])&&Sheet1[Date]=[Measure]),[Measure 2]) Measure 4 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[Category]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[year]<=MAX(Sheet1[year]))) Measure 5 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[Category]),FILTER(ALL(Sheet1),Sheet1[year]<=MAX(Sheet1[year])&&[Measure 3]=0)) Measure 6 = [Measure 4]-[Measure 5]

Create a calculated column
year = YEAR([Date])
create measures
Measure =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Sheet8[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALLEXCEPT ( Sheet8, Sheet8[Category] ),
Sheet8[Date] <= MAX ( Sheet8[Date] )
)
)
Measure 2 =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sheet8[Category] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet8 ), [year] = MAX ( Sheet8[year] ) && [Measure] <> 0 )
)

Hi Thanks but this doesn't seem correct.........for YTD 2015 the count might be correct but it seems to be referring to Categories B and D, rather than C and D?
