Using countblank in one column and get a distinct count of another column values

I created the countblank measure below, but I ultimately would like a distinct count on the number of students who are missing a value in the Student Ethnic Group Name field.   Missing Ethnicity ...

    You can try the following measure that takes a distinct count of student IDs when the ethnic group name is blank.

     

    Missing Ethnicity =
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT('86362'[Student ID]),
        OR(ISBLANK('86362'[Student Ethnic Group Name]), '86362'[Student Ethnic Group Name] = "")
    )

    Yep.

    Amend the measure to

     

    Missing Ethnicity =
    var _calc =
    CALCULATE(
        DISTINCTCOUNT('86362'[Student ID]),
        OR(ISBLANK('86362'[Student Ethnic Group Name]), '86362'[Student Ethnic Group Name] = "")
    )
    Return
    IF(
        ISBLANK(_calc),
        0,
        _calc
    )
