I am trying to distinct count names (using a measure) by the ID. If an ID has the same name, I only need it counted once. However, the same name in different IDs have to be counted separately. 

 

I want to get the data as below

ID 1: 1 Name

ID 2: 1 Name

ID 3: 3 Names

Total: 5

 

If I just use Calculate(DistinctCount(Name)), I would only get a value of 4.

@ARomain , Create a measure like

 

countrows(summarize(Table, Table[ID], Table[Name]) )

I think you can use your measure with an iterator:

SUMX(VALUES(Table[ID]),  yourMeasure))
