In Qlik Sense, which function counts the total number of distinct values in a field, regardless of selections made?

The function that counts the total number of distinct values in a field, regardless of selections made, is FieldValueCount. This function operates independently of any filters or selections applied to the data model, allowing you to retrieve the total unique values present in the specified field across the entire dataset.

FieldValueCount is particularly useful when you want to ascertain the full extent of distinct entries in a data field without the limitations imposed by user interactions or filtering within the Qlik Sense application. This makes it a vital tool for data analysis when understanding the complete scope of data is essential, especially in dashboards where user selections may obscure overall data trends.

In contrast, other options like GetSelectedCount focus specifically on counting values that are selected by the user, GetPossibleCount relates to the count of distinct values currently available for selection based on user selections, and CountValues counts the occurrences of values in a field but does not capture unique values outside of selections. Thus, FieldValueCount stands out as the correct choice for counting distinct values irrespective of any selections.
