Distinctcount linked to another column
Hi PowerBI community
I have a table like this:
column nme : Speciality, Date of operation,...
I want to have a distinctcount on date in order to count all different dates for each speciality.
Of course If I do a distinctcount(date) it does not work as it will count all dates but without taking account my need of have number of date by specilaity.
I tried calculcate(distinctount(date); speciality) but it does nothing.
Any help is welcome...
Hi,
You should drag speciality to the X axis of the Graph and then drag the Distinctcount measure to the value section. Anyways, if you want to write a formula, write this measure:
=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[Date of operation]),Data[Speciality]="XXX")
Replace XXX with the specific speciality.
Hi phaum1967
“have a distinctcount on date in order to count all different dates for each speciality”
To achieve requirement above, create a column
Column = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet1[Date of operation]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet1,Sheet1[Speciality]))

Hi,
Write the normal distinctcount function and in the filter/slicer, select any speciality.
Thanks but I want to present datas in a graph that show monthly activities per speciality. So slicer does not help.
An other idea?
thanks
