How to filter visuals on a measure for a Push DataSet

Dear Forum, 

 

I'm pretty new on PBI and of course I have checked for hours on this forum and internet... 

 

I'm realy stuck now on a point. Let me explain. 

I have a Live / Push DataSet, manipulated by PBI API. 

Then, I use Power BI Desktop to get data on the Live Data Set in order to design my reports

Thanks to PBI Desktop, I'am able to add a new Measure on my Table in order to use DAX to improve the powerfull of my data.

At this point, everything works like a charm. 

 

But, when I try to use by measure as a filter on a Visual (let's say a simple Table). The Filter won't work. 

Let me give you more details :

I have a visual Table with 6 columns. 5 are coming from the Push Data Set and 1 is my measure. 

The measure formula is the most simple possible : Measure = 1. Means that it will set 1 to this new column for all my rows 

When I apply the measure I can see the measure column filled with the value 1 correctly. 

BUT Then I try to add a filter on my table visual to say Measure is = 1 

When I apply the filter my table is now empty !!! 

 

The Measure Data Type is well defined to Whole Number

Even if I try to CONVERT the type to Text ou True/False, the same behaviour happen. 

Of course, my real trouble was coming from a more complex Measure, but I simplify the exercice here to highlight you the issue. 

 

What's happen ? 

Is there some limations on Push Data Set and Measure Filtering ? 

Or what ?

 

Thank you all for your help !!  

 

Cheers
