Hello @izzu,

 

You can use DISTINCTCOUNT to count the unique occurrences in the "Created By" column:

CountCreatedBy = DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[CREATED BY NAME])

If you want to count the rows where "Assign To" and "Created By" are different, you can create a calculated measure instead:

CountDifferentAssignToCreatedBy = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(Table1),
    Table1[ASSIGN TO NAME] <> Table1[CREATED BY NAME]
)

Hope this helps!
