Hi @MostafaGamal ,

You can choose to create a measure like this:

Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[Entreirs] ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[User Mail] )
)

In addition, if you want to show the result in the table, you can put the [User mail] and [Entreris] column in the table to get the same result without creating any measure.

@MostafaGamal you can use distinctcount DAX function

 

Distinct User = DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table[User] )

@parry2k i want to sum the values in column " entries " but only in one row for each user Mail 

 

@MostafaGamal 

 

Measure = SUMX ( VALUES ( Table[User] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( Table[Entry] ) ) )
