AlexisPREVOT , You should always use date table for time intelligence function

 

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Marketing COMMANDE'[REFERENCE_COMMANDE]), dateadd('Date'[Date],-1, Year))

    Thank you amitchandak for your response.

      Hi  AlexisPREVOT , 

       

      Or you can calculate distinctcount without create a date table with your date column 'Marketing COMMANDE'[DATE_COMMANDE], but all() must be add if no date table.

       

      Some measures like this.

      Measure =
      CALCULATE (
      DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Marketing COMMANDE'[REFERENCE_COMMANDE] ),
      ALL ( 'Table' ),
      DATEADD ( 'Marketing COMMANDE'[REFERENCE_COMMANDE], -1, YEAR )
      )

       

      Actually, the date table  amitchandak  mentioned is used to filter the date column [DATE_COMMANDE]. Which has one to many relationship to your date column  [DATE_COMMANDE].

       

      Best Regards
