Distinct Count

Hi all,

 

How can I create the 'Count of Company' column?

 

This is a distinct **bleep** of 'Company' in relation to 'Candidate + Date' field.

 

So '90721-24/08/2020 14:23:00' has 3 distinct 'Company's'

 

And '90721-21/08/2020 10:35:00' has 5 distinct 'Compant's'

@HenryJS

Use it as a new column

Column = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Company]), ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Candidate + Date]))

@HenryJS - I'm thinking:

 

Column =
  VAR __Table = FILTER('Table',[Candidate + Date] = EARLIER([Candidate + Date]))
RETURN
  COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(__Table,"Company",[Company])))

@HenryJS , new columns

countx(filter(table, [Candidate + Date] =earlier([Candidate + Date])),[Company])
or
