Distinct count based on all selected values

Hi all, I have a Count problem that I can't seem to find an answer to.  I have two tables Events and Event_Categories: Event ID 111 112 113 114   Event_categories...
Need Help

Hi

Please try this below DAX

cnt = 
VAR _Combine =
CONCATENATEX(
    Event_categories,
    Event_categories[Event ID],","
)

VAR _CountRows= 
COUNTX(
    VALUES(Events[ID]),
    _Combine
)
RETURN
_CountRows

    Hi vk_pbi,

    Thank you for the reply.

    I tried the DAX and it returns a distinct count where the category is A OR B whereas I'm hoping to return a count where Event_ID is present for all of the selected slicer values (i.e. A and B):

    In the above example the desired result would be 1

      I think, i made it a bit complicated, but lets check it out 

      cnt = 
VAR _NoofselectedValues = 
COUNTROWS(ALLSELECTED(Event_categories[Category]))

VAR _Combine =
CONCATENATEX(
    Event_categories,
    Event_categories[Event_ID],","
)
VAR _Combine_cat = 
CONCATENATEX(
    Event_categories,
    Event_categories[Category],","
)
VAR _CountRows= 
IF(
    NOT CONTAINSSTRING(
        MAX(Event_categories[Category]),
        _Combine_cat
    ),
    COUNTX(
        VALUES(Events[ID]),
        _Combine
    ),
    BLANK()
)
VAR _Result1 = 
IF(
    _NoofselectedValues >1,
    _CountRows,    
    COUNTX( VALUES(Events[ID]),_Combine)
)
RETURN
_Result1
