I gotta column with weekending dates and another coulumn with full name, so im trying use DAX to calculate distinct value of each full name with no of weeks, 

 

I'm getting error with full name as text type cannot be used as true/false or text type cannot be used in filter with distinct count.

Nbweek = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Weekending[WeekEnding]))
 

Measures don't have to be wrapped in CALCULATE as the engine does it automatically.

So, the final formula would be:

Nbweek = DISTINCTCOUNT( Weekending[WeekEnding] )

 

Hi @Anonymous 

 

I tried those measures, it calculates distinctcount of weekending but not name, example it shows

 

Darren 7 weeks

Gareth 2 weeks

 

but i expect answer,

 

Daren 2 weeks (since 12/11/2021, 19/11/2021 only two days are ter)
