Or statement in FILTER not overriding exisitng filter context?

Hi,

 

I've uploaded my pbix file here -> https://ufile.io/dsp0vngv . I have the following data:

 

backend table.JPG

 

And two calculated measures:

answer c.JPGanswer d.JPG

 

Which I've displayed in the visuation table below:

output table.JPG

 

What I don't understand is that for answer c the below line of code is not overriding the existing filter context? i.e. why is every line of the above table visualisation not 5 for the answer d column? I thought the FILTER function leaves the existing filter context intact but then overrides any filter context where a filter is defined within the FILTER function?

Product[Color] = "Red" || Product[Brand] = "SQLBI"
 
Thanks for your help,
 
CM

I believe this is to the behavior of ALL. I've found ALLEXCEPT to supply a solution for most of these situations. It will remove implicit and explicit filters, with exception those applied ot the columns secified in the expression.

 

You can also try creating a custom table to see the result of your filter. 

filter ( filter ( your filter in the calculate ) , the implicit filters of the visual )
