I used the following formula within a measure as suggested however my total is incorrect. The total for Staff Count column should be 8,850.         SUM DISTINCT COUNT = VAR _DISTINCTCOUNT...

    Hi aritz001 ,
    Can you try using this measure instead -
    Measure = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('tblTimeCombined_TimeDetail',
    'tblTimeCombined_TimeDetail'[Date],"count", DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'tblTimeCombined_TimeDetail'[Staff ID] ) ),[count])

    Hope this helps!

     

    Thanks,

This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
