multiplying columns

Hello,

 

Need help here.

 

I am trying to multiply two columns (encircled with BLUE and RED) . Unfortunately, the result shows that it used the total value on the cloumn encircled with BLUE.

Expected output: 116(actual data) x 31 = 3596

 

Output on Desktop: 130 (total) x 31 = 4030

 

 

 

 What I want to be multiplied is the data per row and not the total. Here's the formula of the column encircled with BLACK

 

multiplication = [Column] * (DISTINCTCOUNT('2015_POSdata'[POS-Active Stations]))

 

 

 

Thank you.

Hi @sclencioco,

 

I have tested it on my local environment by using the sample data below.
CountMonthday = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Sheet6[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet6,Sheet6[MonthName]))
DistinctCountMonthday = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet6[Type]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet6,Sheet6[MonthName]))
Measure = Sheet6[CountMonthday]*Sheet6[DistinctCountMonthday]

Hi Charlie_Liao

 

Got it by using your suggested solution and adjusted one of them

 

CountMonthday = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Sheet6[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet6,Sheet6[MonthName]))

 

I used this:

 

CountMonthday = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Sheet6[Date]),ALLEXCEPT(Sheet6,Sheet6[MonthName]))

 

 

I was able to replicate your result.

 

Thank you!
