Distinct count of IDs excluding any that match a certain category value

Is it possible to get a distinct count of values in the ID column excluding any ID's that have a category value of 'D'

 

Using the below table as an example, the expected result would be '3': ID 1 + ID 3 + ID 4 = 3 unique ID's

ID 2 is excluded from the count as it has a category value of D.

 

IDCategory
1A
1B
1C
2A
2B
2C
2D
3A
3B
4A
4B
4C

 

I've tried using DISTINCTCOUNT() with a filter like [Category] <> 'D' but this doesn't work as it will still include ID 2 in the count since ID 2 still pairs with category values other than D.

 

Thanks!

@lightw0rks , Try a measure like

 

countx(filter(summarize(Table, Table[ID],"_1", countx(filter(Table, Table[Category] ="D"),[Category])+0), [_1] =0),[ID])

@lightw0rks or you can use this measure:

 

Count = 
VAR __tableWithD = CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Test (2)'[ID] ), 'Test (2)'[Category] = "D" )
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( EXCEPT ( VALUES ( 'Test (2)'[ID] ), __tableWithD ) )
