Hi All,
I've tried to search the answer to my question but have failed on the numerous paths I've followed so am hoping you are able to help.
I have the following columns and what I want to do is create a calculated column to provide a distinct count where for A where, B is different, so:
Column1 Mapping COUNT
A AA1 2
A AA1 2
A AA2 2
B AA1 2
B AA2 2
C AA1 1
C AA1 1
C AA1 1
So hopefully this makes sense, for A there are two distinct different mappings provided, the same for B. For C though there is only one distinct mapping provided

Try using this for Calculated column:
Count Column = VAR v_SeriesCnt = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT( Data[Mapping] ), ALLEXCEPT( Data, Data[Column1] ) ) RETURN v_SeriesCnt
Thanks.
Try using this for Calculated column:
Count Column = VAR v_SeriesCnt = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT( Data[Mapping] ), ALLEXCEPT( Data, Data[Column1] ) ) RETURN v_SeriesCnt
Thanks.
@Anonymous Wow, that work just as I wanted.
I'm sure it's going to be over my head but what does the VAR v_SeriesCnt do? I'm assuming v_SeriesCnt is the name of the variable.
That's correct. It is just a variable.
Why does the formula have to be inside the variable? What's it's impact?
It does not have to be inside a variable. You can write it without variable too.
Count Column = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT( Data[Mapping] ), ALLEXCEPT( Data, Data[Column1] ) )
Thanks.
Cool.
So I'm going to try to explain this formula, please correct me (if you want to that is) where I've gone astray.
So the ALLEXCEPT is used as a filter where in theory it only looks at Column 1 and rest of the formula looks at the distinct mappings for those?
