Distinctcount excluding negative number through time
Hello!
I am quite new to Power Bi and I am currenlty experiencing trouble with the DISTINCTCOUNT function.
What I am trying to do is quite easy, counting the distinct number of customer excluding the negative and nul numbers.
My formula is the follwing:
calculate( distinctcount(Database[Parent name]),filter('Database','Database'[transaction sales]>=1), filter('calendar','Calendar'[Year Type]="This Year"))
My expected final visual must be as followed
However for some reason Power Bi count the customers as long as they have a positive amount once. Which results in a deviation in the final number of customers per month.
I don't know how to chnage my formula to make Power Bi iterate on a monthly basis not on the total.
If any body could be of assistance on this point this would be really really helpful.
Thank you in advance 😣
Thank you for the reference. I managed getting the good number via a If and Summarize function.
Again, thank you for your help!

Poupouh , distinctcount will be calculated again at grand total so it will not be a sum of rows
