Filter Using Dax

Hi experts, 

 

quick question, I'm trying to write a measure to calculate a distinct count of a column when that column is either of two possible filters. So something like this; 

 

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([Column A]),FILTER(Data,[Column B]="Red" Or "Blue"))
 
So bascially a distinct count of column A filtered when column B is either 'Red' or 'Blue'. I'm not sure what the syntax should be??

you were almost correct

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([Column A]),FILTER(Data,Data[Column B]="Red" || Data[Column B]="Blue"))

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try this measure

 

Cc =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Column A] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[Column B]
            IN {
            "Red",
            "Blue"
        }
    )
)
