Measure to exclude values split by another column

[Scocal123]

Hello,

Struggling to describe my issue here so have put detail onto Excel for simplicity. I have a table like the below:

ID	Item
A	Item 1
A	Item 2
B	Item 3
C	Item 2
D	Item 2
E	Item 3
F	Item 3
F	Item 1

This translates into a bar chart like this via a distinctcount measure:

For the purposes of this chart, I have then created a simple measure to exclude all items < 3 from the chart (the measure was required because my PBI version has a legend, so I had to use the ALL function to get PBI to ignore the legend as part of the filtering), meaning 'item 1' would disappear from the chart. This works fine.

I now need to add a card visual which provides the total count of all the individual items in the bar chart that have a distinctcount of >= 3, but takes into account the split by item in the count so that it removes the 'item 1' values, to give a total of 6. Do you know how best to do this? I need it to dynamically exclude items from the 'Item' column in the distinctcount if they are < 3.

Anything I have tried so far results in me retaining all of the values, i.e. the count is 8 instead of 6

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi @Scocal123 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2) We can create a measure. 

Measure = 
var a=SUMMARIZE(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Item],"Distinct",DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID ]))
var b=SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(a,[Distinct]>=3),"item",[Item])
return COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Item] in b))

(3) Then the result is as follows.
