Need Help - Filtering Distinctcount and Counting DistinctCount Count

[tchchan3]

Hello all,

Fairly new to PowerBi and Query,

Looking for some guidance on how to go about this....

This is my pivot table result within my data model 

Example:

	DistinctCount of Words
1234	1
4566	2
7598	1
1234	1
1234	3

Im looking for a way to display my distintcount results 

Results of Distinct Count	Count
1	3
2	2
>=2	2

Hi, @tchchan3 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

Test:

You may create measures as below.

DistinctCount of Words = SUM('Table'[Value])

Result Measure = 
var t = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    'Table',
    "Re",
    [DistinctCount of Words]
)
var tab = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    Test,
    "Result",
    SWITCH(
        [Results of Distinct Count],
        "1",
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                t,
                [Re]=1
            )
        ),
        "2",
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                t,
                [Re]=2
            )
        ),
        ">=2",
        COUNTROWS(
            FILTER(
                t,
                [Re]>=2
            )
        )
    )
)
return
SUMX(
    tab,
    [Result]
)

Result:

Hello @tchchan3 

you can solve this in DAX by creating a new table using the SUMMARIZE function where you make the distinct count and depending on the output of this, writing in a new column 1, 2 or >=2. Then using this created table in your pivot-table. Here a possible code

CountDistinctCount = SUMMARIZE(YOURTABLE  
      , YOURTABLE[COLUMNTODISTINCTCOUNT], "CountOfDistinctCount", if (COUNT(YOURTABLE[COLUMNTODISTINCTCOUNT])=1, "1", if (COUNT(YOURTABLE[COLUMNTODISTINCTCOUNT])=2, "2", ">=2")))

Kudoes are nice too
