DAX formula with a filter value that is ignored from the report level

[sampak88]

Hi,

I am trying to set up conditional colouring on a chart based on a measure.

I can do it with a:

AVGMost = CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(table),table[Value]),ALL(table2[Category]))

this way I am ignoring the filter on the report level

what I am trying to do is set AVGMost to get that category fixed:

AVGMost = CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(table),table[Value]),FILTER(table2, table2[Category]="cat1"))

and then apply this ias a conditional formating to see if any of the values from cat2 are below the average from cat1.

The result of the last one is when I filter on report to cat2 I get nothing colour coded as cat1 is filtered out and AVGMost = NULL

Also then I have a third category from table3[urban_level] on which I would like this calculation to accept this filtering from table3[urbal_level]

For conditonal colouring I have another measure with if condition to check if a value is greater or not - that part works fine.

Thanks,

sampak

@amitchandak - your formula is almost right, the only problem is that when I apply this table3 filter then the AVG calculated stays the same but I would like this to control the group of records. so for table3 cat1 the average is 5 and then for cat2 is 7 and the colour coding is dynamic just for that selection.

Thanks!

Hi @sampak88 

Can you share a sample with us? You can show us the result you want by a screenshot. This will make us easier to understand your requirement.

This formula is close:

CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(table),table[Value]),FILTER(all(table2) , table2[Category]="cat1"))

however I have a third table connected that has a another category that should be filtering the AVG instead this remains static when I change the filter, see situation with no filter:

and if I select it (the threshold for colouring remains the same as the average is):

What I would like to have is the AVG being calculated to what the third table provides and the colouring being adjusted so the average is calculated on this subset only.

Thanks!

Hi @sampak88 

I think you have created relationships between Table and Table2[Cagetory]/Table3[Cagetory2] . Does your relationship look like my Sample. In my sample Table has Category and Category2. 

In my sample this measure works well.

Result is as below.

Hey,

my relationship looks like this, where in fact the 1 to many in my queries is also 1 to 1

CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(BUS),table[Value]),FILTER(all(2016indx) , 2016indx[Category]="cat1")) and then I want to filter based on UR_NAME from ZoneLookup

Thanks!

Hi @sampak88 

Your issue should be caused by ALL function in filter table '2016indx'. ALL function will make your code remove the filter from '2016indx' and due to relationship, your code will remove the filter from 'ZoneLookup' as well. So UR_NAME from ZoneLookup couldn't filter your measure. Try ALLSELECTED finction.

Measure = CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(BUS),BUS[Value]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('2016indx'),'2016indx'[Category] ="cat1"))

My Sample:

Relationship:

Result is as below. By default result is (1+2+3)/3 = 2. You see we can filter the Avg measure by UR_NAME from ZoneLookup.

(2+3)/2 = 2.5

@sampak88 , if this measure is issues

try like

CALCULATE(AVERAGEX(ALLSELECTED(table),table[Value]),FILTER(all(table2) , table2[Category]="cat1"))
