Hi @Anonymous ,

You can create a measure as below, please find the details in the attachment.

OMNew Volume = 
VAR _recentdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'CA Omega' )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'CA Omega'[Request ID] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'CA Omega' ),
            'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] = _recentdate
        )
    )

Hello,
Here it counts how many recent so it returns 1 value. The thing is I want to count rows of request ID that has the most recent date, It should return 10 value since there are 10 RequestID that was dated on June 2 (which is recent ATM) so i tried using this code but in visualizer it says it coudnt load the data for this visual

 

OMNew Volume =
VAR FirstDateEver =
CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] ), REMOVEFILTERS () )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS( 'CA Omega'),'CA Omega'[Request ID],
'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] = FirstDateEver
)

@Anonymous 
Maybe you have a blank date somewhere, Please try

OMNew Volume =
VAR FirstDateEver =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] ),
        REMOVEFILTERS (),
        'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] <> BLANK ()
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'CA Omega'[Request ID] ),
        'CA Omega'[Request Release Date] = FirstDateEver,
        REMOVEFILTERS ()
    )
