Cumulative sum of 'distinct count of months' by Employee Name

[Ram_DCT]

Hi Team,

Need your help;

I want to count number of distinct months for each employee and sum them.

As per below example [Snapshot] - My DAX should return value as 7.

i.e. Distinct Sum = Distinct count of months [Month-YY] for 'XYZ' + Distinct count of month [Month-YY] for 'PQR'

                           = 4+3

                           = 7

Table Name -	Timesheet
Employee_Id	Employee Name	Date	Hours	Month-YY
1234	XYZ	01-Nov-18	23	11-18
1234	XYZ	13-Nov-18	12	11-18
1234	XYZ	02-Dec-18	34	12-18
1234	XYZ	12-Dec-18	34	12-18
1234	XYZ	21-Dec-18	34	12-18
1234	XYZ	26-Dec-18	34	12-18
1234	XYZ	02-Jan-19	24	01-19
1234	XYZ	21-Jan-19	24	01-19
1234	XYZ	29-Jan-19	24	01-19
1234	XYZ	02-Feb-19	45	02-19
1234	XYZ	21-Feb-19	45	02-19
2345	PQR	01-Dec-18	34	12-18
2345	PQR	19-Dec-18	34	12-18
2345	PQR	24-Dec-18	34	12-18
2345	PQR	11-Jan-19	32	01-19
2345	PQR	13-Jan-19	32	01-19
2345	PQR	15-Jan-19	32	01-19
2345	PQR	01-Feb-19	55	02-19
2345	PQR	02-Feb-19	55	02-19
2345	PQR	06-Feb-19	55	02-19
Distinct Count of Months by Employee	4+3 = 7
4 Distinct months for 'XYZ' and 3 unique months for 'PQR' = 7

Hi @Ram_DCT

Try creating a measure like this and placing it in a Card visual, here Table1 is the table you show:

Measure =
SUMX (
    DISTINCT ( Table1[Employee Name] ),
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table1[Month-YY] ) )
)

Please always show your sample data in text-tabular format in addition to (or instead of) the screen captures. That allows people trying to help to readily copy the data and run a quick test, plus it increases the likelihood of your question being answered. Just use 'Copy table' in Power BI and paste it here. Or, ideally, share the pbix (beware of confidential data).

Thank you so much!! I have replaced the table [snapshot to table (Text)].
