    Hi adoster 

    Try to create this measure to achieve your goal.

    Measure = 
VAR _SUMMARIZE = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Date],"DISTINCT COUNT",DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Name]))
RETURN
SUMX(FILTER(_SUMMARIZE,[Date]<= MAX('Table'[Date])),[DISTINCT COUNT])

    Result is as below.

    Best Regards,

Hi RicoZhou,

I ran across one snag on the solution I was wondering if you might be able to help.

The Table View shows the correct total count (5) that I was looking for, but it doesn't work on a Graph Visualization. It still shows the total procedure count (8)

 

To try and solve this I added a column which gives a Rank to each Procedure Name. My thought is that the Graph would only count the highest rank and then ignore everything after.

 

Sorry if this is a totally separate issue and I can create a new post if needed 🙂

 

Example of volume that would show on a graph:

 

DateNameProcedure Display NameDistinct PDNRank
11/8/2021Donald DuckProcedure A11
11/8/2021Donald DuckProcedure B12
11/8/2021Mickey MouseProcedure A11
11/8/2021Mickey MouseProcedure B12
11/9/2021Donald DuckProcedure A11
11/9/2021Donald DuckProcedure B12
11/9/2021Mickey MouseProcedure A11
11/10/2021Mickey MouseProcedure B1

1

 

  Desired Results
 Procedure Display NameCount by Rank
11/8/2021Procedure A2
11/8/2021Procedure B0
11/9/2021Procedure A2
11/9/2021Procedure B0
11/10/2021Procedure A0
11/10/2021Procedure B1
Total 5

 

Thanks for any assistance.
