Help with Filter + Distinct

Hi,

 

I have table with columns "status","ID"

 

I need to count the rows that have "Active" status but with distinct ID and then put it into a new measure.

 

How can i filter my table on "Active" status and then remove the non distinct rows + sum the result?

 

Thanks!

@benalfassy,

 

Please use the DAX below.

Measure 2 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[ID]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Status]="Active"))

Hi,

 

Try this

 

=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[ID]),Data[Status]="Active")

Can you please attach the table that you are using as your dataset along with the expected results? 

ID Status  
 1 Active    
 1Active  
1Not Active    
2Active    
3Not Active    
2Active   

 

i want to add new measure with value that based on the table above will be 2, because after i filter the Active and remove distinct i will have only 2 rows.

Hi,

 

Try this

 

=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Data[ID]),Data[Status]="Active")

 

Hope this helps.

Try: 

 

Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(Table1[ID])),FILTER(Table1,Table1[Status]="Active"))

I cant DISTINCT first because i might left with ID that have "Not Active" status although there is ID with Active status
