Distinctcount variable if

Buenas tardes,

Soy principiante en PBI, y hasta ahora, he podido ir solucionando todos los problemas que se me han ido presentando. Pero en esta ocasión, llevo 3 ó 4 semanas y no hay manera de encontrarla. 

Siento molestarles con esta cuestión, que me imagino que para ustedes será muy básica. Yo creo que puede ser hasta de concepto. 

En fin, el problema es el siguiente:

Tengo un distinctcount muy sencillo de una columna en una variable que, cuando lo pongo en una tarjeta o en una matriz, el resultado es bueno, pero cuando esa variable la uso en una sentencia if, el resultado no es bueno.

El if también es muy simple: Si el distinctcount es <=5, debe hacer A,y si no cumple, debe hacer B. Pero cuando uso un segmentador, sea cual sea el resultado que muestra la tarjeta o la matriz, el resultado de la instrucción if, siempre da el resultado A ,(aunque sea mayor a 5)

Seguro que la solución es simple

Hi @JavierGomez 


What do you mean by A and B?

Here's the sample:

Table:

vzhengdxumsft_0-1732590407712.png

The _Count measure is:

_Count = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Values])

And it returens:

vzhengdxumsft_3-1732590492341.png

Then add a Measure:

Measure = IF([_Count]<=5,"A","B")

The result is as follow:
