Excel formula to Dax - Counting distinct values based on the date

Morning all,

 

I am hoping for a little help to convert the following formual to Dax or advice as this maybe easier utilising a calculated table?

 

Basically it is counting distinct values based on the date

 

=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF([@[Offer_Date]]=[Offer_Date], COUNTIF([Offer_Account], "<"&[Offer_Account]), ""), (COUNTIF([Offer_Account], "<"&[Offer_Account])))>0))

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Cheers

Found this in another topic and works great once adjusted for my table and column names

 

Measure 2 = var _table=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Shop],'Table'[Date],"distinctcount",DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Customer]))
return
SUMX(_table,[distinctcount])

Post a small copiable dataset together with expected results.

Perhaps this measure:

MyMeasure =
CALCULATE(
    DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Offer_Account] ),
    ALLEXCEPT( 'Table', 'Table'[Offer_Date] )
)

Regards

Thank you but that seems to be counting Distinct Accounts only....if the account appears on different days i need it to count both instances

 

hope that makes sense

But unless I'm mistaken your Excel formula is not doing that - the part

IF([@[Offer_Date]]=[Offer_Date],...

means that the counts will be for a given date only.

Regards
