    Hey lcasey.

     

    I assume you are using the Country as the slicer, so I would use this to make your measure:

     

    New Measure = CALCULATE(COUNTA(Transactions[Column1]), FILTER(Transactions, Transactions[Column2] > 0))

     

    Hope this helps,

Thanks!   I am still struggling with this language. I really wish I never would have learned SQL now. I think there is some sort of block in my brain preventing me from understanding this language.  I need to practice much more!!!!
