Hi,

 

I used DISTINCTCOUNT for a measure, but in this case it's for showing the count number of records in a chart or table, so that the user can see the total count and if they want to see the records that add to it, just use the "see records" option.

 

 

In the case I'm testing, I have 1608 different values among several records, and there are some Null values, and the count is showing 1609, so I'm assuming is counting the "distinct empty value".

 

Thanks!

 

Brenda

      i'm in the same situation of this post and it seems there is no solution yet

       

      basically the COUNT DISTINCT in the graphs sums also the BLANK even if i was able to subtract them from the table!
