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 :)

    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.

    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"))

     

    Best Reagrds
