Distinct count using measure

Hello,

 

Is it possible to calculate distinct count in the measure below? Here is my measure as it stands, which counts the values but I would like to do distinct count of the values. 

 

Measure1= 
VAR __table = SUMMARIZE('Table1','Table1'[year],"__value",[Measure2])
RETURN
IF(HASONEVALUE('Table1'[year]), [Measure2],COUNTX(__table,[__value]))

E.g. here is measure 2 in action in table visual, which gives measure1 = 4, but I would like measure1 to be 3 in this case. 

 

YearMeasure2
20155
20167
20177
20188

See if an adaptation of something like below works:

 

Measure = 
VAR __table = SUMMARIZE('Table2','Table2'[UniqueID],"__value",[Measure2)
VAR __values = DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(__table,"__value",[__value]))
RETURN
COUNTROWS(__values)

Thanks @Greg_Deckler that works 🙂 Is it possible to ignore blanks? i.e. not count the rows where values are blank?
