Count/distinct over time

I am working on counting how many times the promise date for an order changed over time. The pivot table I made looks like this:\\\

Order3/2/2015
3/3/20153/4/2015
23123235/3/20155/6/20155/10/2015
12343246/3/20156/3/20156/3/2015
56789014/16/20154/19/20154/16/2015

The dates in the data cells are the promise dates. My question is if there's a way of counting how many times each order's promise dates changed during the life of the order? Currently I am using Count(Distinct()) but in a case like Order #5678901, it would only count that it changed once because it went back to the same promise date.

This is my current expression in the table where I am counting: if((count(distinct([Promise Date]))-1)>=0,(count(distinct([Promise Date]))-1),'-')

The results I would want in this example would be:

Order, # of Changes

2312323, 2

1234324,0

5678901,2

I'm not sure if this is possible but I would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi there! I am back with another question! So I am concatenating my tables together because I was ending up with synthetic keys that were actually messing up my data. But now, the script you gave to me isn't working. It was fine up until I concatenated them, and now it's coming up with a wrong answer. Am I putting the concatenation in the wrong place?
