Hello,
I have a DAX query that I'm tring to deduplicate values from. Basically, the DAX query is a COUNTAX but I'm unsure how to write the query correctly.
Below is my original query:
= COUNTAX(
FILTER(
RELATEDTABLE('Customer Attributes'),
'Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "IDENTIFIER" &&
'Customer Attributes'[type] = 6
),
'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt]
) + 0
I'm trying to GROUPBY one of the columns within the Customer Attributes table.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Hi @Anonymous
Could you share some data example and the expected result?
Best Regards

Hi Maggie,
Sure, below is what I'm seeing as far as a result set goes:
Below is an example of what I should be seeing as we shouldn't have more than 6 No. Of Attributes.
The No. Of Identifiers field is the currently the following DAX query:
No. of Identifiers = COUNTAX(
FILTER(
RELATEDTABLE('Customer Attributes'),
'Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "IDENTIFIER"
),
'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt]
) + 0
The query that I'm attempting to write is as follows:
= GROUPBY('Customer Attributes','Customer Attributes'[Attribute],"Distinct No Identifiers",
COUNTAX(CURRENTGROUP(),FILTER('Customer Attributes','Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "Identifier"
)),
'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt]
) + 0
The below query is giving me sort of what I want, however I'm looking for the acutal number, not summary:
SUMMARIZE('Customer Attributes','Customer Attributes'[Attribute],"Distinct No. Identifiers",
COUNTAX(
FILTER(
RELATEDTABLE('Customer Attributes'),
'Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "IDENTIFIER" &&
'Customer Attributes'[type] = 6 ),
'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt]
) + 0)
What I would like to see is 1, 2, 3 respectively, not the SUM. I tried GROUPBY but it would only allow 2 arguments.
Thank you again for your help, it is much appreciated as always. I'm getting my feet wet with DAX 🙂
Hi @Anonymous
Sorry for still not understanding your requirement?
"What I would like to see is 1, 2, 3 respectively, not the SUM"
For the picture above this sentence, which column should be 1,2,3 respectively?
when you use 'summarize" or " goupby", you would get a new table using the columns of the original table.
it would be better if i know what's the original table and what's the new table.
Additionally,the No. of Identifiers formula is equal to the following
No. of Identifiers =Calculate(count 'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt],filter(all('Customer Attributes'), 'Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "IDENTIFIER"))

Hello,
I'm looking for the best way to write a GROUPBY with the COUNTAX keyword on the 'Customer Attributes'[Attribute] field.
Original DAX query is as follows:
= COUNTAX(
FILTER(
RELATEDTABLE('Customer Attributes'),
'Customer Attributes'[Attribute Type] = "IDENTIFIER" &&
'Customer Attributes'[type] = 6
),
'Customer Attributes'[AttributeCnt]
) + 0
Sample data is as follows on the table that I'd like to run the GROUPBY on:
Any help would be much appreciated as always.
