Distinct count when count of elements are higher than

hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to do the following with no useful result.

 

I have to get the list of unique names and their numbers from a column in a table. Furthermore, i have to calculate the total number of the overall list.  However, the list should consider only the values that are repeated for a number of times greater than x (for example 1)

 

For example:

 

A
A
A
B
B
B
C
D
D

 

This should result in a list made of:

A3
B3
D2

 

And a total distinct count measure of 8, because we don't consider "C"

 

How can i do this? I know of the distinct and distinctcount functions, but i'm not able to filter my table in the correct way.

Sorry but i'm new to PBI and i cant figure it out.

 

Thank you all for the help

    Hi Andrylodra ,

     

    According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

    (1) My test data is the same as yours.

    (2) We can create measures. 

    Measure = 
var _a=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[List]),FILTER('Table',COUNT('Table'[List])>1))
var _b= DISTINCT('Table'[List])
return IF(_a in _b ,1,0)
    list count = COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table','Table'[Measure]=1))
    filtered out = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[List]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[list count]<>BLANK()))

    (3) Then the result is as follows.

      This solves a part of the problem, thanks.

       

      Is there a way to count how many names were filtered out (in this case 3, because we have A,B and D)?

      I can't use distinctcount on a measure if I'm correct
