Help with DAX conditional count of orders

[rrafferty37]

Hello,

Looking for a bit of help with a measure I can't seem to quite get right.

I have a table that has sales order lines.  The Order # is repeated multiple times if there are different SKU's on the order.  My first step is I wanted to sum the amount of units on each order, excluding certain types of units.

first measure:  

Order Units = 

CALCULATE(

    SUM('Table 1'[Units Sold]),

    filter('Table 1',OR('Table 1'[Product Type]="Condition 1",'Table 1'[Product Type]="Condition 2")))

This does what I expect and seems to be working fine.  My next step is to count the number of orders that have 5 or more units on the order. This is where I am getting hung up.

Attempt 1:

Qualified Order Count =

CALCULATE(

    DISTINCTCOUNT('Table 1'[Order]),

    filter('Table 1',[Frames/Suns Sold] >=5 ))

I don't recieve any errors, but I do not get a count either, the column is blank. 

I tried passing the Order Units calculation directly into the filter of the above measure as well with no dice. 

End Result, I want to be able to see how many orders have 5 or more units (of a certain type) were placed over some period of time.

Thanks!

Sample data would be tremendously helpful to replicate and test. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

@Greg_Deckler Thanks Greg, I will be sure to include in the future. I actually found an answer:

Qualified Order Count = 

Var units = Order Units

Return

Calculate( 

    DistinctCount('Table 1',

   filter('Table 1', units >=5))

Passing the measure as a variable seems to do the trick, althought I am not 100% certain as to why.
