    Ah, got ya.

     

    I believe this will work:

     

    DistinctCount.Open.PaymentEntry = CALCULATE(
                                             DISTINCTCOUNT( Task2[Job_ID] ),
                                                    FILTER( Task2 ,
                                                               Task2[Job_Status] = "Closed"
                                                           ||  Task2[Job_Status] = "Payment Entry")
)

Hey there!

 

I believe you'll be able to achieve your desired result with a simpler code. 

 

Try this:

 

Count Closed.PaymentEntry = COUNTROWS(
                                       FILTER( Task ,
                                                   Task[Job_Status] = "Closed"
                                               ||  Task[Job_Status] = "Payment Entry" )
)

In short, we use the countrows function to count the rows of a table that we filter to only include rows with "Closed" or "Payment Entry" job statuses. The || is the "or" operator.

    Hey,
    It would work only if all tasks had unique job id. Because there are jobs with mulitple taks I have to use distinct count.
