Need Help - Filtering Distinctcount and Counting DistinctCount Count

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
12341
45662
75981
12341
12343

 

Im looking for a way to display my distintcount results 

Results of Distinct CountCount

    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    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:

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I did not get the desired result.

    you have 2 and >=2 ?

    Hello Anonymous 

     

    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")))


    If this post helps or solves your problem, please mark it as solution (to help other users find useful content and to acknowledge the work of users that helped you)
    Kudoes are nice too

    Have fun
