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? ...

    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
