DAX CALCULATE Function with FILTER Statement
Hi, I'm new to Power BI. Can someone explain to me why using FILTER in the below DAX Calc seems to break out the calc down to row level granularity whereas when it is not used the value is aggregated? It's like the fields specified in the FILTER statement are controlling the granuarity or level of detail. I realize FILTER is a table function and maybe I don't understand the signifigance of tables. Thanks in advance!
Expenses = CALCULATE(
[Transaction Amount],
FILTER(transactions, transactions[Transaction Type] = "debit"),
Category[Category] <> "transfer",
Category[Category] <> "Credit Card Payment"
)
Expenses 2 = CALCULATE(
[Transaction Amount],
transactions[Transaction Type] = "debit",
transactions[Description] <> "transfer",
transactions[Description] <> "Credit Card Payment"
)
Anonymous not sure what your question is? IN 2nd measure you have different columns used for filters. This post explains how DAX works when you give a statement like Table[Column] = "ABC"
