I have a SQL query:
x
select DISTINCT [doc]from [table] where [doc] like 'DS%'I want to rewrite it with DAX, but it isn’t working. Here is what I have now:
= CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'table'[doc] ), SEARCH("DS", DISTINCT('table'[doc]),1,0) > 0)How would I create a similar query with DAX?

Answer
The SQL predicate that is used here translates to starts with ds.
Example
declare @t1 as table (doc varchar(max))insert into @t1select * from (values('ds1'),('ds2'),('nods'),('no ds'),('nothing')) t(a)select * from @t1select distinct(doc) from@t1where doc like 'ds%'The exact DAX equivalent Measure would be
Measure =CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[doc] ), FILTER ( VALUES ( 'Table'[doc] ), LEFT ( 'Table'[doc], 2 ) = "ds" ))Internally FILTER ( VALUES ( 'Table'[doc] ), LEFT ( 'Table'[doc], 2 ) = "ds" ) returns a table like this
