Count of Distinct Values not working

Hi there,

I have the following dataset...

Sample APR is a calculated column which contains randomly generated numbers.

APR Group groups these. So basically 5.X = 5, 6.X = 6, etc etc.

I want to create a third calculated columns which counts the number of distinct values in the Sample APR column, desired output like the following....

I naturally tried to use DISTINCTCOUNT, with the following DAX:

Num of Cases = DISTINCTCOUNT('myTable'[Sample APR])
 
However, when I use this, I get the enture column populated by the value of 11341 which will be the number of rows of data I have I suspect. I also tried DISTINCTCOUNT with APR Group column to see what the result was and this resulted in the entire columns being populated with the a value of 12 (incidently I noticed this number is the COUNT of the number of case statements I used to create the APR Group column).
Can anyone help me out with this please?

Test = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Sample APR]),ALL(Table1), Table1[APR Group] = EARLIER(Table1[APR Group]))

Thanks @tex628 

That appears to be grouping the APR Group column rather than the Sample APR one though. Been trying variations of your solution but still no luck unfortunately.

My apologies, i didnt read the initial post well enough!

Column = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1) , ALL(Table1) , Table1[Sample APR] = EARLIER(Table1[Sample APR]) , Table1[APR Group] = EARLIER(Table1[APR Group]))


Hope it works!
