Help: DistinctCount by DistinctCount

[SS-PBI]

Good Morning,

I am trying to get the distinctcount of a column by the distinct count of another. 

I have a table with 3 columns, Date, Volunteer, and Location.

I need to calculate the percent of volunteers working by the count of distinct locations they volunteered at, as shown in the image below, the table visual on the right. I use a slider to select the date ranges. So far, I am having difficulty in Power BI to get this working correctly.

The table on the right is based on a SUMMARIZE function to create a new table that has Volunteer and Count of Location (distinct count of locations volunteered at), and then I can create a measure with the total number of distinct volunteers and another measure with the distinct count of volunteers. A third measure is used to calculate the percentage.

My problem is the SUMMARIZE function doesn't take the date slider into account. How do I go about doing this best in Power BI?

Hi @SS-PBI ,

Sorry for delay... You can follow the below steps to achieve it, please find the details in Page 2 of attachment:

1. Create a calculated table Location number

Location number = GENERATESERIES(1,DISTINCTCOUNT('Volunteer Data'[Location]),1)

2. Create a measure to get the number of volunteer per location number group

Count of Volunteers = 
VAR _tab =
    SUMMARIZE (
        'Volunteer Data',
        'Volunteer Data'[Volunteer],
        "countofL", CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Volunteer Data'[Location] ) )
    )
VAR _tab2 =
    FILTER (
        CROSSJOIN ( 'Location number', _tab ),
        [countofL] = 'Location number'[Number]
    )
RETURN
    COUNTAX ( _tab2, [Volunteer] )

3. Update the formula of measure [Percent Volunteers]: replace measure [Count of Volunteers 2] with new created measure [Count of Volunteers]

Percent Volunteers = [Count of Volunteers] / [Total Unique Volunteers]

Best Regards
