Something wrong with calculated column (using filtering in it)

[donbonbon]

Hey,

I cannot figure out what is wrong with this formula Column = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('DB'[lead_id],FILTER('DB', 'DB'[status]="accepted")))

Thnx!

You will need to provide more information if you want help. Eg What are you expecting and what are you getting?

sorry, I didnt think it was relevant. It just highlights me it in red. I need to count distinct lead_id from table DB where status od this lead_id is accepted

Please, try the following:

Column = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('DB'[lead_id]),'DB'[status]="accepted")

Explanation: The second part for the CALCULATE is already the filter expression. You don't need to use FILTER in this case. In addition, DISTINCTCOUNT accepts only 1 parameter, so you need to close your parenthesis right after 'DB'[lead_id].

EXTRA TIP: If you want this expression to consider also the other filters applied on you report, you can use the following:

Column = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('DB'[lead_id]),KEEPFILTERS('DB'[status]="accepted"))
