I'm getting a "The following syntax error occurred during parsing invalid token line 3, offset 36" in this dax and I have no idea why. I also can't seem to find much on what that error is trying to tell me.
Can anyone help?
DistinctStateCount TEST = CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Ticket Location'[State]),
VALUES('Registration'[CDC_ID]))
Solved! Go to Solution.
I was trying to only count states that had a registration code and how many states that had that registration code. Was able to accomplish it with this
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Ticket Location'[State]),
FILTER(
'Ticket',
NOT(ISBLANK(RELATED('Registration'[CDC_ID])))
)
)
Hi,
My best guess is that this is all you need
=DISTINCTCOUNT('Ticket Location'[State])
What are you trying to achieve with the VALUES filter?
