    Re: Using distinct count measure in Pivot table

    Hello HR85 and Welcome to Excel Forum.
    I am assuming that you are using a version of Excel (not windows) that supports Power Pivot.
    Attached is a file that illustrates one way to accomplish what I believe you want.
    1. Convert the data into an Excel table (Ctrl + t)
    2. Add the table to the data model
    3. Add the following measure: Family Count:=DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[Family])
    4. Produce a pivot table from the data model with category in the Rows area and the Family Count measure in the Values area
    For future reference you may get faster results if you utilize the information in the banner at the top of the page to upload a sample Excel file to your post.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
