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)

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,

Pragati
