Distinct count not returning a result
Hi Anonymous
I think Don't know in your table may not equal to the string in measure, so the measure couldn't find it.
You could try to copy Don't know from table and try again.
And here I will give you some advice.
If your table is like the following table I built, you can use 100% Stacked bar chart and count(distinct ) function in this visual.
My Table:
Or you can update your measure:
Measure = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Respid]),FILTER('Table','Table'[What sort of job?]=MAX('Table'[What sort of job?])))Result:

Hi Anonymous ,
If I follow your measure, this is what I get.
Let me know if you are looking for something like this, else please share sample data and expected output.
Don't Know = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[respid]),FILTER('Table', 'Table'[What sort of job?]="Don't know"))
DCOUNT = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[respid])
Measure = DIVIDE([Don't Know],[DCOUNT])

The formulas all work, but for some reason, nothing comes through in the visualisation...hoping it's not something i've unchecked or filtered out, but here's the output...'don't know' is in the chart, but not displaying...
Hi Anonymous ,
Not sure but can you give this a try.
Your visualization has Don't_Know ( has an underscore) while your measure does not have an underscore.
Let me know if this works, else please share sample data and expected output.

I was trying various formulas (and was going to keep the correct one once it worked!) hence the underscores etc
here's my updated screenshot...still no luck unfortunately
