Filter (DistinctCount) - DAX Newbie

agd50_0-1689296797810.png


Hey forum,
I want to be able to create a measure that aggregates as a DistinctCount but only shows the value for the current year (including if I check in a year from now).

Please Help, Thanks

Hello @agd50 ,

you can use below calculation to achieve this:

Calculate(DistinctCount(Column), filter(Table, Year(Table[Date])= Year(Today())))

Count of x YTD =
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'x'[x] ),

        FILTER (RELATEDTABLE(Dim_Calendar), YEAR(Dim_Calendar[Date])=YEAR(TODAY()
        )
    )
)

This worked exactly how I wanted it to, Thanks

I agree thanks, but I assume that calculate is not neccessary in measures as that is already automatically included

On second thought this may not work for me as I forgot to mention dim_calendar is a separate table to the aggregation so I assume that a related/relatedtable which need to be included somewhere
