How to count distinct Months in a column
- 9 years ago
Hi,
What result do you get with this?
=130*DISTINCTCOUNT(ImportCubicPM[Month])

I have a slicer in PowerBI which I can select multiple months.
I added a Card in PowerBI with the "Month" selected and choose (Count Distinct). When I select multiple months in the slicer, PowerBI returns the exact count of months that I selected. If I choose August, September, October, the count is "3" just as expected.
I need to create a Column that multiplies "130 * DISTINCTCOUNT(ImportCubicPM[Month]"
test = CALCULATE(130 * ( DISTINCTCOUNT(ImportCubicPM[Month])))If 2 months are selected by the slicer then the total should be 260.
The code above is not calculating properly. The numbers are off a little bit.
I am not sure if I should be using DISTINCTCOUNT
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
The DAX measure shall work If it is a measure. If you actually created a "Column" in your case, try to create a measure instead. Otherwise, for further suggestion, please post more sample data of your case. Or even better you can upload the pbix file to Onedrive/Google drive and share the link.

Oh my goodness, I thought I had tried that yesterday but could not get it to accept the query as a measure.
This worked as a measure. Thank you so much.
Measure = 130*DISTINCTCOUNT(ImportCubicPM[Month])
