Hi, I need help to distinctcount id base if it cointains in same category:
ID | productid | desciption | A | B | C |
1 | 1 | frozen | 1 | ||
2 | 1 | frozen | 1 | ||
3 | 1 | frozen | 1 | ||
3 | 2 | fresh | 1 | ||
4 | 1 | frozen | 1 | ||
4 | 2 | fresh | 1 | ||
5 | 2 | fresh | 1 | ||
Total | 2 | 1 | 2 |
In the tabel I want to distinctcount the ID base on desciprtion:
If in same id but have in description only cointains frozen then A is 1
If in same id but have in description only cointains fresh then B is 1
If in same id but have in both description cointains both frozen and fresh then c is 1
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @yellowold5 ,
I think maybe you can try these steps below:
I create a table as you mentioned.
Then I think you can create a new table and here is my DAX code.
NewTable =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID], 'Table'[productid], 'Table'[desciption] ),
"A",
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ),
'Table'[desciption] = "frozen"
)
= CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) ),
1,
BLANK ()
),
"B",
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ),
'Table'[desciption] = "fresh"
)
= CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ) ),
1,
BLANK ()
),
"C",
IF (
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ),
'Table'[desciption] = "frozen"
) > 0
&& CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[ID] ),
'Table'[desciption] = "fresh"
) > 0,
1,
BLANK ()
)
)
Finally you will get what you want.

Hello @yellowold5 ,
Please try creating this measures for A,B, and C and add it in the table..
Count_A =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(TableName[ID]),
NOT(CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "fresh")),
CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "frozen"))
Count_B =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(TableName[ID]),
NOT(CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "frozen")),
CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "fresh"))
Count_C =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(TableName[ID]),
CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "frozen"),
CONTAINS(TableName, TableName[productdescription], "fresh"))
If you find this helpful , please mark it as solution and Your Kudos are much appreciated!
Thank You

Hi, got this error:
A function 'CONTAINS' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.
