Count distinct value with condition in column

Hi everyone,

I have a datatable and I want to display the top 5 Name with Value >15 and use 1 Slicer to filter the time:

I am a new user of Power BI and I don't know how to make this request, please help me. With Slicer, I know I need to create a list of Measures to perform filtering.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

We can use the following steps to meet your requirement.

 

1. Create a measure to calculate the distinct count value and the value is greater than 15.

 

Measure = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(A[Value]),A[Value]>15)

 

2. Then we can put the measure to filter on this visual and filter TOP 5 name.

The result like this,

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

BTW, pbix as attached.

 

Best regards,

Create a measure like this

Value GT = Calculate(Sum(Table[Value]),Table[Value]>15)

Use a visual level filter to take the top 5 Name based on the value

 

Ord create a rank and use that in a filter of the visual level filter

Rank = rankx(all(Name),[Value GT ],,dese,dense)

Dear @amitchandak ,

The problem is that my data table has a lot of records, the number of distint names is over 200, I can't create each Measure to count each Name, this can be easily handled if using a custom column to store the number for each Name, but I need to use Measure so that the chart can work with Slicer. 

I can get a list of distinct names, but how do I use the Measure to count the number for each name distinct?

@Anonymous , You can create a table with a distinct name and join the other table with that. You can always use count distinct from name table

 

Name = distinct(Table[Name])

 @amitchandak ,

I created Table B with Distinct Name from Table A, I can also count the number of Distinct Names with CALCULATE COUNTROWS, but so the Slicer I use to filter Year will not work.

Please check my pbix file.

@Anonymous , I created two measures. The COlumn will not respond to changes. You can change count distinct to countrows. One that uses Table A column can one work on one directional relation. One on the table B need bi-directional relation
