SQL Syntax incorrect when using DISTINCT -PowerBI Report Builder

I am using Power BI Report Builder. I am querying data being held in SSMS. My SQL syntax seems to be incorrect when I use DISTINCT:

 

SELECT

  [Sheet1$].ID

  ,[Sheet1$].Player

  ,DISTINCT([Sheet1$].Nationality)

FROM

  [Sheet1$]

Any ideas as to why this is?

I realised that DISTINCT should come directly after the SELECT statement inorder for it to work.

SELECT

  DISTINCT [Sheet1$].Nationality,

  [Sheet1$].ID,

  [Sheet1$].Player

FROM

  [Sheet1$]
