Summarizecolumns with Distinctcount and filter

Hi everyone!

 

I want to create a table from another one with SUMMARIZECOLUMNS.

 

Summary Table =
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
'Check-List Bayer / Autoelevador'[Campo de fecha del formulario],
"Maquinas por día", DISTINCTCOUNT('Check-List Bayer / Autoelevador'[Equipo]))
 
Now I have to make the DISTINCTCOUNT from the Equipo column but i need to exclude some values : "Eléctrica 1", "Eléctrica 2", "Eléctrica 3", "Eléctrica 4".
 

I tried adding a filter but the function does not work.

Does anyone have an idea?

 

Thanks a lot!

@amitchandak, So I tried reformatting yours to work with mine and I'm getting a "THe expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted t a scalar value"

Any ideas waht that means?

SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
'DTS_BII_Fact_Stops'[StopArrivalDate],
"Tractors",
calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT('DTS_BII_Fact_Stops'[TractorID]), filter('DTS_BII_Fact_Stops', ( 'DTS_BII_Fact_Stops'[ResourceType] in { "Fixed"}))) )
