Subtotals from DISTINCTCOUNT in matrix incorrect (same ID on different days)

[Patrick95]

Hi,

I've created a measure to calculate the distinct "Document No." when they have a certain value (FILTER ON: '42-CHECK-SERIALNO'). 

It could be that the same Document No. will have the value (42-...) on a different date. 

The totals are corrrect in the matrix, but the subtotals will count the value even if the Document No. has already hit the value (42-CHECK-SERIALNO) already on a different date. Herefor if you count the subtotals, you will get a different total als the one that is listed correctly in the matrix.

If the "Document No." occurs several times on different dates by value (42-...), then I do not want to count this (double) in the subtotals. It should only count the first time the "Document No." hits the status (42-...)

I hope someone can help me with this issue

Hi, 

@Ashish_Mathur, I reproduced the data and you can find the link below:

Again: 

If the "Document No." occurs several times on different dates by value (42-...), then I do not want to count this (double) in the subtotals. It should only count the first time the "Document No." hits the status (42-...)

@Patrick95 This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376

Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:

Hi Greg,

Thanks for your response, but I think I'm looking for something more specific. I want an IF statement on my formula so ifthe "Document No." occurs several times on different dates by value (42-...), then I do not want to count this (double) in the subtotals. It should only count the first time the "Document No." hits the status (42-...).

Do you have experience with this or have a solution?
