    Hey markmess77 ,

     

    when you are using a sort-by-column, you also have to add this column with an ALL. The reason is that in the background there is a group by the sort column. Check the following article if you fully want to understand the problem:

    Side effects of the Sort By Column setting in DAX - SQLBI

     

    Otherwise you can just add the sort by column:

    Measure = 
DIVIDE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[ID]),
    CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[ID]), ALL(Workflows[Category]), ALL(Workflows[CategorySortByColumn]) ),
    0
)

     

    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 👍
