So sorry if I dont understand your requeriment correctly.
The following measure will exclude those codes that START with the values you say:

Dist_Count Coverage = 
CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT(Coverage[CUST_CODE]),
    LEFT( Coverage[CUST_CODE], 4 ) <> "9999"
        && LEFT( Coverage[CUST_CODE], 5 ) <> "29100"
        && LEFT( Coverage[CUST_CODE], 4 ) <> "1075"
)

Hope that helps!

Hi there!

Have you tried:

CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT( YourTable[CustomerCode] ),
    NOT( YourTable[CustomerCode] IN { Code1, Code2 } )
)

Let me know if that helps!

Hi @PabloDeheza ,

 

I am trying your measure but it seem not working. Please help to check the screenshot below.

Can you provide the error message? Thanks

The problem is you are treating the code column as an integer and it is a string, add double quotes to the numbers and it should work.

CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT( YourTable[CustomerCode] ),
    NOT( YourTable[CustomerCode] IN { "Code1", "Code2" } )
)

Hi @PabloDeheza ,

 

After trying your measure, it's still include the these customer code below.

- 99999...

- 1075...

- 29100

Please kindly check and advise again.

 

For Dist_Count answer correctly in excel is:

For your measure in BI is:

)
