Total of Distinct is correct but the displayed values of column is wrong

i have problem in my 2 columns an [area] and [count of companies] in that area.. I put them together in a table, then I added distinct to [count of companies]. Then this happened. the total of the column is correct but the displayed contents of each row of [company] when added manually it doesn't match with the total .. it is usually higher.

 

I would like to get the distinct values of each row when added up that matches with the total of distinct count and would like to make clear the total is correct but the total of each row values when added up will not match the total. I would like to match the row values to the total of distinct [count of company]

 

Can I ask for your kind guidance about this. Thank you.

 

my columns are

[company] [sales] [area]

@Ahmedx Thanks for the reply, I think I somehow get your point here.. but in DirectQuery Countrow wont push through.. not available to directquery.. is there somehow other approach for that? Thanks.

DirectQuery is a complicated thing

Yea, this is for a dynamics 365 field service live dashboard

@Ritaf1983 the count of company values per row must display the total 6.. not the total 8.. is it possible? thanks in advance..

 

@Zael-Leonhart 

Create a measure with dax :

company_q = DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Company])

@Ritaf1983 
as you can see the rows value the sum is not 5.. the expected output is somehow like this..

Area company_qMust be
AREA 2 21
AREA 3 10
AREA 4 44
Total 55

@Zael-Leonhart Again how do you want area 2 to be 1, if there are 2 companies in this area?
A and B

output of distinctcount

ZaelLeonhart_2-1701162256974.png

but my desired output is this

ZaelLeonhart_4-1701162364127.png

 

is this possible? thank you

 



 

from your data.. as you can see if you total the values of the row.. is not 5. If possible the values of the rows will equal to the total 5 not 7.. is there any way? thanks 

Row calculates distinct values that are filtered by the specific area...
If you want something else please explain what logic you need.
Because your data has the same company in more than 1 area...

@Ritaf1983 Thanks for the reply, hmm the logic.. distinct vs unique.. the logic I want to point is the unique.. I hope you understand what I mean.. 

 

Company Sales Area

A 100 AREA 2 - counted

A 200 AREA 3 - not counted A is already at Area 2

C 400 AREA 4 - counted

B 100 AREA 4 - counted

B 200 AREA 4 - not counted B duplicate

B 400 AREA 2 - not counted have already B

H 100 AREA 4 - counted unique

I 200 AREA 4 - counted unique

J 400 AREA 2 - counted unique

 

 


I don't know if this will help.. if you are familiar with Qlik... i used the expression
sum(aggr(count(distinct [Company]),[Company])). I hope this helps. Thanks

Hi @Zael-Leonhart 
You can rank the company by area and count the first appearances of every company.

@Ahmedx Sorry for the trouble, I'm having issues with the earlier function when I put the company it tells me that incorrect parameter.
