"ALL" not working properly with sorting table

[Anonymous]

I'm encountering an error (or whatever I'm doing wrong...) where I have a calculation from fact Table A, for which I have a sorting table, that sorts the column rows into correct order. No problems here. We can call this ColumnX

I'm now trying to calculate a measure that should get all rows (per this ColumnX) divided by the total number of unique "SaleID" and then divided by the total number of days within this period. 

So far no worries, this measue works as intended when using the ColumnX from the regular table and I get the expected results. However, when I'm using the sorting column I get the wrong results. 

I've narrowed it down to it being the distinctcount of SaleID that end up wrong. Instead of it giving me the total number, it gives the total number per ColumnX. 

Here's my calculations: 

var _volume = COUNTROWS(TableA)

var _saleID = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(TableA[ID]), ALL(TableA[ColumnX]), ALL(SortTable[ColumnY))

var _days = COUNT('Date'[Date])

var _average = DIVIDE(_volume,_saleID)

RETURN

DIVIDE(_average,_days)

For example:

var _saleID = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(TableA[ID]), ALL(TableA[ColumnX]), ALL(SortColumn[ColumnY)) gives me the number 195 when using the main table. For all variatns of ColumnX

But, when using sort Table

I get 127 and 190

Which leads to the errors in my results. 

there's a 1-* relationship with single crossfilter direction between the main table and sorting table

I've tired making this go both ways but didn't help

Any idea on how to solve this? 

Edit: 

Table with sample data:

ID	Value	ColumnX	Country	Date
1	110	AAA	SWE	2024-06-26
1	120	AAA	SWE	2024-06-26
1	130	BBB	SWE	2024-06-26
2	140	BBB	SWE	2024-06-26
2	100	AAA	SWE	2024-06-26
3	200	BBB	NOR	2024-06-26
3	300	AAA	NOR	2024-06-26
4	123	AAA	SWE	2024-06-26
1	321	BBB	SWE	2024-06-26
2	222	AAA	SWE	2024-06-26

So for the example above: 

There are three unique IDs (1, 2 &4) for Sweden, and a total of 8 rows (for Sweden). 5 AAA rows, and 3 BBB rows. 

What I want is to then calculate:

for AAA column:

5/3/1 - 5 is for the five AAA rows, 3 is for three uniqe Sweden IDs, and 1 is for the number of days. 

for BBB column:

3/3/1 - 3 is for the three BBB rows, 3 is for three uniqe Sweden IDs, and 1 is for the number of days. 

What actually happens in Power BI is it instead calculates BBB column as:

3/2/1, because it only calculates the unique IDs for BBB columns. Instead of the total Sweden rows.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Any filters used? Try replacing ALL with ALLSELECTED.

Please feel free to correct me and provide more information if I have misunderstood you!

Hope it helps!

No filters for that column, but I tried and it didn't help

But thanks for the reply

Hi @Anonymous ,

For the counting of individual IDs, you can try the following expression, and if there are still other problems, show your expected results:

Measure = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[ID]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Country]))

Hope it helps!
