Need help with Measure

I have created the below measure to distinct count the column "ProfileNameGroup". I am getting the desired result but the total is incorrect. How can I modify this measure to show the correct total?

 

Meaure - Count = COALESCE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ClientGroupMaster[ProfileNameGroup]),0)
 

 

 

Table  - ClientGroupMaster

 

ProfileNumberProfileNameProfileNameGroup
1Test LtdADC Group
2Btech LtdADC Group
3CID LtdADC Group
4BLE LtdADC Group
5GEM LTGDEF Group
6CDS LTDDEF Group
7BEF LTDDEF Group
8GLC LTDDEF Group
9QWA LTDDEF Group
10OPL LTDGEH Group

  • HI gauravnarchal ,

     

    I am not sure about why you are using COALESCE in your measure. You can just use DISTINCTCOUNT to get the count of distinct values in a column. Something like below:

    uniqueProduct = 
    DISTINCTCOUNT(
                  'Supermarket Sales'[Product line]
                 )

    And this given me perfect distinct count at my end:

    On the left my slicer shown all the distinct values in my column.

    On the right I have moved the measure to a card visual to show the correct distinct count on the product column.

     

    I am not able to understand what you mean by this:  I am getting the desired result but the total is incorrect.

     

    Add more details please.

     

    Thanks,
