Columne as multiple values in filter function (or other ways

[matemusic]

Hey everyone.

Is there a way, to input column in filter function?

Here is an example:

var x = values(Here comes a calculated column filter by other measurement condition) 

return
calculate(sum(sales[price]);filter(sales;[product]=x)

So in var x i get list of product names which are filtered by other measure. In return i want to get all products, which are in var x. 

Thank you

Hi @matemusic,

As we can define variables with both scalar values and tables, you should be able to define an expression like the following one in your scenario.

[RedSales] :=
VAR RedProducts =
 FILTER ( ALL ( Product[Color] ), Product[Color] = "Red" )
RETURN
 CALCULATE ( SUM ( Sales[Quantity] ), RedProducts )

In addition, here is a good article about Variables in DAX for your reference.

Without ever having done it, I bet you can create a variable that returns a table and then pass that into your measure

var x = FILTER( VALUES(Products), [Measure])
RETURN
CALCULATE( SUM(Sales[Price]), x)

I'm not 100% sure if this is what you're asking for but let me know if it works 🙂
