    Hi oldrunner ,

     

    The EARLIER function is usually used in calculated columns, please use the MAX or SELECTEDVALUE function in the measure, like this:

     

    Duplicate Cust. Ref = 
CALCULATE ( 
    COUNT ( 'ABC'[DEF] ),
    Filter ( 'ABC', 'ABC'[DEF] = MAX ( 'ABC'[DEF] ) )
)

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
    Best Regards,
    Winniz

Thanks.
I get the message that earlier functions cannot be nested. Maybe my question was not quite correct. I need to filter on two different columns and it should only count when both (or more) arguments are true. So for example the customer name and the purchase order number (as different customers might have the same purchase order number).
Thanks
