    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    We suggest you to delete your shared report link in your reply if it contain any confidential information, We can also use the following measure to meet your requirement:

     

    B2B OUTLET BUYING =
SUMX (
    DISTINCT ( 'SUB TYPES'[Tag] ),
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( [Outlet Name] ),
        'TOTAL SALES DATA'[Billing Type] = "ZRSS"
    )
)


    Best regards,

    B2B OUTLET BUYING = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([Outlet Name]),'TOTAL SALES DATA'[Billing Type]="ZRSS") Here

      DISTINCTCOUNT() counts the unique values. In your total, it counts the unique values in [Outlet Name] in the current filter context which is [Billing Type]="ZRSS" and two or more tags may be sharing the same Outlet Name and that Outlet Name is counted as one only in the total.

        Hi danextian,

        Ohhh. I get it. Is the a way to fix this? I need to count distinct outlets with the billing type of ZRSS. Row values are correct its just that the total of the column did not match to the individual values in the rows.

        Thanks

      Try this
      Sumx(summerize(table,table[column]"total",[b2b outlet]),[total])

      Thanks,

        Hi, I'm sorry, I'm very new at Power Bi.

         

        Can I send the link of my dashboard instead?

      Can you also share your data model?  What is [Outlet Name]?  By convention, it should be a measure but I am not sure it is.

       

      Thanks!

        Try this NewMeasure = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('TOTAL SALES DATA','SUB TYPES'[Tag],"total",[B2B OUTLET BUYING]),[total])

        The issue you faced because of incorrect parenthesis.

        Thanks
