Hi
I would like to count the total number of customers, so I can show that i 2019 we had 6 customers and in 2020 we had 7 customers and so on. Which function is the right one to choose for that?

I dosnt work for me to use DISTINCTCOUNT or TOTALYTD

    Hi LangeJan ,

     

    Create the following two measures:

     

    Cumulative customers = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[CustNumber]), 'Table'[year]<= MAX('Table'[year]))

var cumulative =
[Cumulative customers]
    - CALCULATE ( [Cumulative customers], 'Table'[year] = MAX ( 'Table'[year] ) - 1 )
