Is DISTINCTCOUNT function causing issues when trying to use Analyze feature?
If you are refering to Analyze in Excel, DISTINCTCOUNT works fine.
Also could you please let me know if there are any other good resources for using dax measure visual which can make use of the insight function efficiently. This is unclear. What do you mean? You use DISTINCTCOUNT if you are trying to count the distinct values of a column. Bear in mind that if you use this in a table or matrix, it will be evaluated for each distinct value of the row or column category and at the total level for the whole of the table so the sum of individual rows may not necessary be equal to the total. In the example below, there are only 4 distinct products at the total level: A, B, C and D.
The following will return the same result as DISTINCTCOUNT assuming there are not blank products:
COUNTROWS ( VALUES ( 'table'[product] ) )COUNTROWS ( DISTINCT ( 'table'[product] ) )
