How to count values of one column by another column

Hello,

 

So if I have a table like this that has a list of ZIPs delivered to and the week they're delivered, except for the bold column. That's the column I need to build.

 

tRaw

ZIP Week Weekly Total
12345 1 3
12345 1 3
12345 1 3
67890 1 2
67890 1 2
12345 2 2
12345 2 2
67890 2 1

 

 

I've tried 

Weekly Total= 
CALCULATE(
   DISTINCTCOUNT(tRaw[ZIP]),
   ALLEXCEPT(tRaw,tRaw[Week])
   )

but what ends up coming out is

 

ZIP Week Weekly Total
12345 1 5
12345 1 5
12345 1 5
67890 1 5
67890 1 5
12345 2 3
12345 2 3
67890 2 3

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Figured it out

 

Don't need DISTINCTCOUNT, COUNT worked perfectly

 

Column 2 = calculate(
count(tRaw[ZipCode]),
ALLEXCEPT(tRaw, traw[week], tRaw[ZipCode])
)

Hi,

 

You should do a COUNT not a DISTINCTCOUNT, which prevents you from havnig the expected result.

Both solutions hereunder, would do the trick :

As @parry2k proposed :

Weekly Total v2 = 
CALCULATE(
   COUNT(tRaw[ZIP]),
   ALLEXCEPT(tRaw,tRaw[Week],tRaw[ZIP])
   )

Or if you like to have another version of the solution, you could do :

Weekly Total v1 = 
CALCULATE(
   COUNT(tRaw[ZIP]),
   KEEPFILTERS(tRaw[Week]), KEEPFILTERS(tRaw[ZIP])
   )

Both soltions provides expected results. Let us know...

Like so?

 
Column =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(tRaw[ZipCode]),
ALLEXCEPT(tRaw ,tRaw[Week], tRaw[ZipCode])
)
 
I tried that and it just returns 1 as every value
