Power BI count

‎01-19-2021 11:30 AM

Hello, 

 

Does anyone know how to count just one instance of a data point that shows up multiple times in the data set? I would also like to filter this data based on a specific threshold.

 

We have projects that go over a month but the data is separated by the periods so I am looking to get a count of the projects without double counting and I would like to filter these based on projects that are over certain thresholds ($1000,$25000, etc.)

Hi @Drose275

You can use DISTINCTCOUNT( ) and CALCULATE

If you show a sample of your data with an example we can come up with a more accurate answer

Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving a thumbs up if posts are helpful.

 

Contact me privately for support with any larger-scale BI needs, tutoring, etc.

 

Cheers
