filter context is not working in add columns

Hi,

 

my problem is

I need the distinct count of sport with string consist of ball/ team but only for won = 1

 

 

 

the orginal column only contain team,sport,alias,name

won & current count are addcolumns

 

addcolumns('table',"won",if(lookupvalue('table2'[player],'table2'[alias],'table'[alias])='table'[name],1,0),
"current count", calculate(distinctcount('table'[sport]),allexcept('table','table'[team]), CONTAINSSTRING('table'[sport],"*ball*")))

 

I need the expected count as result instead of current count

I'm not able to use won as filter as it as in addcolumns

 

this is table

teamsportalias         name
1handballp1john
1handballp2harish
1footballp5williams
1hockeyp6vivek
1tennisp3vimal
2cricketp7ben
2ball badminton    p4thomas

vimal

 

 

this is table2

player       alias
johnp1
harishp2
vimalp3
thomasp4

 

calculated table 

teamsport                     alias   name           won     current count             expected count

my expected output is "EXPECTED COUNT" column

 

my base model has 2 tables - TABLE & TABLE2 

using those 2 table I have created calculated column WON & CURRENT COUNT

 

my WON column is right but my CURRENT COUNT is not

my CURRENT COUNT column should only apply if WON = 1 but since WON is used as a addcolumn I'm not able to use it as a filter 

 

 

this is my dax

addcolumns('table',"won",if(lookupvalue('table2'[player],'table2'[alias],'table'[alias])='table'[name],1,0),
"current count"calculate(distinctcount('table'[sport]),allexcept('table','table'[team]), CONTAINSSTRING('table'[sport],"*ball*")))

@newbie9 could you explain the logic of what you are trying to achieve and what is the expected output?
