    Field won’t recount when filtering

     

    I have created a new field to count distinct Product Owners. It shows correctly, but it still show the total count when filtering.

    I have used following formula:
    =UniqueCount(Applications Master Data:Application Business Owner)

     

    I have added the field to a KPI in a group

    Product

    Product Owner

    A

    Donald

    A

    Dolly

    B

    Mickey

     

    Total count Product Owner = 3
    Filter on Product A should give Total count Product Owner = 2

     

    How can solve this?

    Do I have to adjust the formula, properties or other?

    Frode,

     

    Instead of using the Unique Count formula, you'd could do the following:

     

    1. Create a Count column (="1")

     

     

    This way when you filter on product A it will show 1 for each record and add up to 2 and if you look at the total row count it would show 3.  

     

    If you wanted to do Product count to get 2 (since there are only two records) you could do the following:

     

    2. Create a Repeats column:  Do a SumIf(Product,Product,Count)

    3. Create a Total count column.  Total count = Count/Repeats

     

    Cheers,

    Ryan
