Issue with a count

Hi

 

I have this DAX code:

Count of id 8 =
CALCULATE(
      COUNT(Table[id]),
          FILTER(Table,Table[code] ="8")
)
It was working fine but now it just produces blanks no idea what has changed I have a previous version and copied the code across and it still didnt fix it, I then tried using the "Quick Measure" which produced the below and it still didnt work.
 
Count of id 8 =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTA('Table'[id]),
    'Table'[code] IN { "8" }
)
 
Both id and code are data type text as they have both numbers and text in.
 
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
 
Thanks in advance

Hey @Sbudd ,

 

can you show the content of the table 'Table'?

In general I would not use filter and I would also use countrows:

Count of id 8 =
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS(Table),
    Table[code] = "8"
)

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
