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?
Table - ClientGroupMaster

| 1 | Test Ltd | ADC Group |
| 2 | Btech Ltd | ADC 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,
Pragati
