    Hi Surendar88 

    The main improvement I would suggest is to filter on the ClaimNumber and PolicyNumber columns rather than the 'Reporting' table.

    Something like:

     

    DEFINE
        VAR _claim = "ABC"
        VAR _policy = ""
    
    EVALUATE
    SUMMARIZECOLUMNS (
        'Reporting'[Inception Year],
        'Reporting'[PolicyNumber],
        'Reporting'[InsuredName],
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Reporting'[ClaimNumber] ),
            _claim = ""
                || 'Reporting'[ClaimNumber] = _claim
        ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Reporting'[PolicyNumber] ),
            _policy = ""
                || 'Reporting'[PolicyNumber] = _policy
        ),
        "Premium", 'Reporting'[Premium]
    )
    ORDER BY 'Reporting'[Year] DESC

     

    There is no way I am aware of to conditionally include/exclude a filter, as conditional tables are not possible.

    There could be some other smart approach but this is what I can think of at the moment 🙂
