Measure - Get DistinctCount by Category

Hi all,

 

I'm finding it tricky to get the DistinctCount filtered or grouped by a Category.

 

For example, with the below sample data, the Distinctcount ("ID") for Monday is 3, Tuesday is 1, Wednesday is 2, Thursday is 4.

 

I want the measure to tell me the SUM of the above, so 3 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 10

 

IDDay of the Week
1Monday
1Monday
2Monday
3Monday
2Tuesday
2Tuesday
2Wednesday
3Wednesday
3Thursday
4Thursday
5Thursday
6Thursday

 

Thanks for your help!

Distinct count ID measure: =
SUMX (
    VALUES ( Data[Day of the Week] ),
    CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Data[ID] ) )
)
