    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,

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

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    You may try Anonymous 's formula. SUMMARIZE() creates a virtual table of count of unique outlet name for each tag  within the measure itself and SUMX sums up the count. Or you may create a calculated column that concatenates tag and outlet name columns and use that in your distinctcount measure instead.
