Trying to get a simple count of sales in a matrix

[WuchaDoin]

I don't know why I am having such a hard time with this, but in this picture, there are a count of 7 sales (counted in red). Where '13' is circled in red; I need that number to be 7. I have tried all differnt methods of fields on the rows, columns, and values. Anyone know a simple solution to this? Basically I am needing a matrix that just counts the amount of sales for each site. This one has seven, but I can't get it to count on the other column where '13' is.

Hi, @WuchaDoin 

You can try the following methods.

Measure = IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[ITEM]),COUNT('Table'[ITEM]),DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ITEM]))

IF(HASONEVALUE()) This function controls the output of Total.

Thank you so very much. I appreciate the help from everyone else, but this is exactly what I needed and now I can even study the line of code you used to better understand DAX at a simpiler level.
