My table has duplicates. 

how do I sum values in column A, for a "Document" in column B ?
So, the formula returns 30. 

also, looking to count distinct ID's for "document".  Formula returns 2.

Hi @alienout 
For sum please use a measure :

Sum unique =
CALCULATE(
SUMX(
SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[ID],"max",MAX('Table'[Column A ])),[max]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Column B]="Document"))
Ritaf1983_0-1710990231230.png

For count:

Count unique =
CALCULATE(
COUNTX(
SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[ID],"max",MAX('Table'[Column A ])),[max]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Column B]="Document"))
