Hi eazyBI Community,

I’m trying to count the number of assignees, but I want to exclude the “Unassigned”.

> Count(  
> Filter(  
> [Assignee].[User].Members NOT (“Unassigned”),  
> [Measures].[Issues created] \> 0  
> )  
> )

But it doesn’t work and gives me the following error message:

> Child process request failed with Errno::ECONNREFUSED:  
> The child process will be restarted now, please retry the request in a minute.

I don’t like to see that 3 people are assigned to the parent issue, when there are actually only 2

Hi @HRivest,

You can use the following formula that counts the number of assignees except for the “unassigned”:

```auto
Nonzero(Count(
  Filter(Descendants([Assignee].CurrentMember,[Assignee].[User]),
    [Assignee].CurrentHierarchyMember.Name<>'(unassigned)'
    AND
    [Measures].[Issues created]>0
  )
))

```

Best,
