    Hi gtamir,


    It matters in your case because you are joining on CustomerKey which has no matching values between the two tables so the inner join will result in 0 rows. 


    I have to say this that please spend sometime on modelling data before you start creating measures and columns. Your main two tables have redundant columns which makes the third person wonder what actually is going on in the model. I would suggest you to remove unwanted columns to make the model clean.

    I have solved the problem only keeping in mind that you need to count customers from BestClubZikui 5-20181 table for PharmacyCode in BestClubSales 5-2018.

     

    Follow below steps:
    1. Create a separate table which contains unique PharmacyCode from BestClubSales 5-2018 table. It can be done by using DAX or Power Query in QueryEditor. Here is the DAX expression for that:

    DimPharmacyCode = DISTINCT(VALUES('BestClubSales 5-2018'[PharmacyCode]))

    2. Create a relationship between DimPharmacyCode and BestClubZikui 5-20181 on Pharmacy Code column.

    3. Use the PharmacyCode column in DimPharmacyCode in your visual table and remove the old one. You will get the desired count.

     

    Sending you pbix of the same.
