Dax help: Shadow context with allselected()

Hello All,

 

I really need your help.  All of my numbers are wrong in production.

I need to create a ratio whose denominator is dynamic and is determined according to the report filter.

I created this measure using the allselected function.

But I have incomprehensible results when I create other measures from this first measure.

I read an article by Marco Russo which talked about shadow context.

I would like to know if you have any trick to override the ALLSELECTED () function?

 

Thanks

@Lidou_Cand Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output? Maybe the formulas you are using?


Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
