Hi all,
Since I'm new to PowerBI and DAX the following question..
I'm trying to count the number of clients that are purchasing a certain service. Example of table (services):
Clientnmbr Service
11 A
11 B
25 A
37 A
37 B
37 C
44 A
54 A
54 C
65 C
I'm looking for a dax-formula that counts the number of clients (distinctcount) that use 1 service (answer=1), 2 services (answer=2) or 3 services (answer=1)...
Thanks! Steven
Solved! Go to Solution.
You could create a calculated table showing the number of services by client:
SUMMARIZE('Table', Clientnmbr, "ServiceCount", DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Service])
Or use that inside of any other DAX. But of you want to be able to filter on the number you need a calculated table since you can't filter on measures.
Distinct clients = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Clientnmbr])
(use if you want to filter on service in report)
Distinct clients service A = CALCULATE([Distinct clients], KEEPFILTERS('Table'[Service]="A"))
(use if you want a new mesure for a specific service)
or combine like this:
Distinct clients service A = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Clientnmbr]), KEEPFILTERS('Table'[Service]="A"))
@Anonymous ,
Create a mesure like below:
DistinctCount = DISTINCTCOUNT('TableName'[Client])
Don't forget to give thumbs up 👍 and accept this as a solution if it helped you.
@Anonymous ,
After creating DAX measure you'll get expected output as per below screen shot:
Thanks, but this shows the number of times that a specific service is used. I'm looking for the formula that shows the # of clients that use 1, 2 or 3 services.
