Summarize returning wrong total but when I put it into a measure its correct

I have created a calculated table which summarizes another table and adds a column to get a count of the vendor but its returning the wrong total.

 

When I take the added column and create it as a measure I get the right total.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Dax for calctable:

calcTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(  
        SUMMARIZE (
            dim_partner,
            dim_partner[partner_key],
            dim_partner[partner_name]
        ),
   "Vendors",
      CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ftm[ven_key]), dim_product[product_id] <> BLANK(), dim_product[product_id] <> 0, dim_vendor[vendor_id] <> BLANK(), dim_vendor[vendor_id] <> 0,
      dim_vendor[is_deleted] = "0"))
Output from calctable:
mdbuzzer15_1-1664868970470.png

 

Dax for measure:
testing =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( ftm[ven_key] ),
    dim_product[product_id] <> BLANK (),
    dim_product[product_id] <> 0,
    dim_vendor[vendor_id] <> BLANK (),
    dim_vendor[vendor_id] <> 0,
    dim_vendor[is_deleted] = "0"
)
 
Output from Measure:

@Anonymous Maybe try:

calcTable =
ADDCOLUMNS(  
        SUMMARIZE (
            dim_partner,
            dim_partner[partner_key],
            dim_partner[partner_name]
        ),
   "Vendors",
      COUNTROWS(DISTINCT(SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('ftm',[product_id] <> BLANK() && [product_id]<>0 && [vendor_id] <> BLANK() && [vendor_id] <> 0),"__ven_key",[ven_key])))

but would that not only work if its all coming from the ftm table, I need to filter from various tables like the prodduct table, the vendor table etc

@Anonymous What are the relationships between your tables? Do you have corresponding product_id and vendor_id columns in your related table? This might be easier if you provide sample data. Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
