sounds like you have customers who are in both group types?

 

you will need to check your data

There is a difference if he buys a project then B , but if he buys nothing then S

s

ok but if you do a distinctcount(customerid) and put the type on the slicer then it should be 200+300 so there must be something else going on with the data otherwise it wouldn't be 500?  can you view it in the matrix or in the source data to see how many unique customers are against each type.  or share the data so we can get a better understanding.

 

what are you calculations?

Apologies, i put the querstion in wrongly.

 

Total 300 entered the shop, i, entrance CCTV all member data was captured (300), then in cash counters CCTV 200 image captured. in my device table i have devicename for Entrance CCTV which is AA and in Cash counter CCTV is  BB.

 

my table : - 1:M joins my device(device_ids), trans(device_ids),  under trans table i have cid's.

 

If a person image captures in both location CCTV he is B else S, when i do distinctcount(cid's.) by device type my result is B=200 and S=300 but i want my S=100.

 

hope you understand my queries

yes, cutomers have 2 rows if they are B else 1

because you have more than one row i suggest you summarize the table and then create the type off of that table

 

ie.

 

SUMMARIZE(table , customerid, "derived customer type", max(type))   

 

then you create the new column off this table as it gives one row per customer and if you use max it will return when there is b

Well i do not know your data structure so it would be a quess. But something like this:

distinctcount(cid's.) 

 

 

CALCULATE(distinctcount(cid's.);customertype = S) - CALCULATE(distinctcount(cid's.);customertype = B)
