@Invesco , DISTINCTCOUNT will recalculated for grand total to it might not match

if you want sum of DISTINCTCOUNT

try like

Sumx(dev_con_consent_with_universe[current_attitudinal_segment_desc])  ,CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(dev_con_consent_with_universe[crmf_hcp_id])))

Hi Amit Tried youre idea.... still same result

Segment Consent # = SUMX(VALUES(dev_con_consent_with_universe[current_segment]),CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(dev_con_consent_with_universe[crmf_hcp_id])))

Hi @Invesco ,

You can create another new measure as below and put this new measure to replace the original measure onto the visual...

New Measure =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( dev_con_consent_with_universe[current_attitudinal_segment_desc] ),
    [Number of People with Consent]
)

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your table 'dev_con_consent_with_universe' (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file.
